I walk 90% of rounds and play once/week.

Right now I carry, but I am thinking about getting a pushcart.

I’m also a writer and can give you a clean, detailed write-up ;)

George

Sacramento, California

Use the old V1 Speed cart for 9 holes. Since I am 68 I use golf cart for 18 hole rounds

[SgtGunni]

Name: Jon Gunnison

City/State:  Pinehurst, NC

Currently pushing a cart.  Push carts have just recently been approved at all Pinehurst courses where I belong. I’ve seen a few powered carts only. Clic Gear being one of them.  The push carts provided at Pinehurst are Sun Mountain.  I use the push carts about 75% of the time.  I play 20-22 rounds a month.

More and more Members are using push carts since the Club started to allow them. Powered carts are approved but I’ve only seen a handful so far.  Pinehurst has discussed providing powered push carts but no decision has been made.  Members are encouraged and can bring there own carts.

[Joefreddy]

I walk most of the time. Push a Caddytec currently. Play 2-3 times a week. Been playing now for over 50 years. 

[Kevinding]

Kevin

Vernon, CT

I always walk 99% of my rounds.

Currently, I use a clicgear model 8.

[Mr. B]

Hello. I use a sun mountain micro cart. I use the push cart most of the time but I have never had a motorized cart. I play about 50 to 70 times a year mostly around Baton Rouge Louisiana but I go on golf trips a few times a year. I bounce around to several different courses a month and soon I will be going to the Smoky Mountains where I plan to plan several rounds. I have been in the market for a high quality cart and the Motocaddy brand always interested me. I would love to test and review this cart at all the different courses I play. Thank you.

 Testers Wanted (4)

When the pandemic hit last year, lots of things changed in golf. Courses were closed for a while, then they reopened with restrictions. One of those restrictions involved cart use. Either courses prohibited two people--not from the same household--from sharing a golf cart, or people just felt more comfortable not sitting a foot from a total stranger for the better part of four to five hours. So many golfers took to foot, as in walking for their rounds.

The result created a demand like never seen before in push carts, with many companies selling out of them by May. Another area that had huge success was the electric push carts segment.  After all, given the choice would you rather:

A: Carry a 25-pound bag for all five miles
B: Push that 25-pound bag for all five miles
C: Just, you know, walk for all five miles

Ask about anyone, and  nearly all reasonably non-maniacal types would pick C.

That's where MOTOCADDY and it's M5 & M7 series comes in. 

According to staff writer, John Barba, "using the remote-control Motocaddy M7 is like having R2D2 as your caddie."

But we want to know what our readers think. We are looking for current walkers/push cart users, who are open to trying an electric push cart. We are looking for both men and women testers, that reside in the US.  

We want you to test/review and keep the MOTOCADDY and let our membership know what you think. 

 

How to Apply

In A Post Below List the following Information

First name 

City & State

Do you currently walk the majority of your rounds

Do you use a push cart now, if yes which one

That's it. We'll be selecting the testers in the next 7 to 10 days.  So check back here to see if you have been chosen.

I alternate between looping, a push-cart (Amazon's Choice?), and a Sun Mountain Dynamis R/C Cart (which is awesome).

Would love to have the Motocaddy cart, I need to walk more for health reasons and this would give me the ability to enjoy the walk.

I discovered that carrying a bag is a big disadvantage, when I was much younger the fatigue factor is huge later in rounds.  Leads to bad form and off-line shots.  

As a sixty-three year old with a hip replacement, walking the course(s) is required exercise.  Any powered cart would gain my favor, (possible bias warning) I am accustomed to experimentation.  Used to do club repair as work.  I foresee the biggest differences to be on hilly courses and planning your approaches to any side-hill lies to be more tricky.  Do the motors have enough power, do the braking methods hold - without dumping your bag.  

If I could afford, and justify the costs, I would buy one today.  Which brand and model are the best value?  I look forward to knowing to answer.  If I am part of the testing, of not.
