Kenny B Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Sounds like we pretty much do the same thing PJ. As for the Bandon caddies, I remember that it was the same price if a caddie double-bagged or if we each had our own. Since it was the same, I decided that I wanted to experience a round with my own caddy, so my wife and I each got one. Mine was pretty good, but my wife loved hers and wanted to take him home! I said no. PlaidJacket 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment
PlaidJacket Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The Caddie I had I put up with. He was a nice enough guy but he always wanted to provide a lesson or two along the way. I finally told him to zip-it with the lessons on the second day. Just carry the bag and provide course advise. He did and we got along fine. Bandon sure is a cool place though.

hckymeyer Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I always ride, but I also live on the course and have 2 golf carts.

Reesedw Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Both depends on the course, who, and when I'm playing.. With wife ride cause she likes to walk here and there but not the whole course. When I was in league it would depend on the course as we played 10 course in a rotation.. some cart was included other Not walking so it all depends..

I had back surgery in 95 and asked my Ortho surgeon what he thought of double strap carry bags, when the double strap was just introduced. He said he LOVED the double strap as it was going to put all 3 of his kids thru college. LOL, the human spine is not meant to carry a heavy bag that puts it in an unnatural position and it just puts a lot of stress on the spine. He said some may go their whole lives carrying a bag with little to no problems but most will end up suffering some sort of back ailment. My best friend in NC coaches the girls high school team and assistant coach of the boys. All the girls use push carts and they won the state championship. But all the boys refuse to push a cart because "it isn't cool". ... But with the advent of push carts it should be irrelevant. I use a remote control cart and love walking the course for 1) my health 2) keeps me more involved in the game and my specific shots 3) keeps my back looser and warmed up and 3) allows me to take in the beauty of nature more than zipping by in a cart. We played yesterday on a course where the distance form green to the next tee can be insanely long and I was fortunate enough to be playing with my son and two of his 20 something friends that took carts. I was able to walk the course like I had a caddy as my pard drove and let me walk but ride the 3 holes with too much distance from green to the next tee. So I stayed loose and relaxed the whole round. Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Aerojet 3/5 ... Kai'li Blue 60R Hybrids: 430 Hybrid 22*... Steelfiber 780Hy DHy #4 ...

I hear ya. Ironically for the first time yesterday I forgot the battery to my remote cart and thankfully/unfortunatly my sons Batboy Quad push cart was in the trunk.

GaLefty Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I usually walk. My home course is set up well for walking. It seems that many of the newer courses are not built to walk. Maybe it is intentional to generate more revenue through cart rentals. Just a guess. I have a Caddytek EZ. I love it. fixyurdivot 1 Quote Link to comment
