Yeah man, because all those young kids know what is cool. They also dab when they make putts and use their fidget spinners to help read the slopes on greens.

Carry your bag like a man. If the bag is too heavy with the beers, then pack several flasks.
No one that is currently on tour ever used a push cart. Grow a pair, and carry your bag.

34, use one. Enjoy walking and using cart made it far better than lugging on back like I did previously.

More people should walk.

I'm going to get one too, soon. Love walking and honestly, doesn't take much longer than riding.

Huge advantage of walking is being able to walk up to the green, not have to worry about optimal spot to park your cart etc.

Totally didn't about hooking up a speaker too. I love the idea of a push cart a currently on the internet reading reviews

I'm dealing with a pinched nerve between my shoulder blades which I attribute to years of carrying my golf bag.

College is far different than the tour there buddy. Most anyone could play college if they wanted to - The golf channel featured the Minority College Championship last night which had white kids playing for HBCUs and shooting 84.
An overwhelming majority of collegiate golfers will not make the tour, and the ones that have/will didn't use a push cart.

Find me a current PGA tour player that used a push cart.

I have no judgment for guys who want to use a pushcart when they get older.

If I want to walk, I'm going to clean out the golf bag to make it lighter and just carry it though, because that's what I've always done and like doing that.

It's preference, I wouldn't worry about what people think to be honest. Good on you for getting out and walking, I should do that more often. That's for sure.

Yep. Gold standard for what is wrong with youth golfers. Good find. This is also the golfer that uses all the same length irons, putts side saddle with a putter that was a piece of wood, and was almost out driven by Lexi Thompson every other hole in that combined event.

Instead of learning how to hit different length clubs, he complained and made them all the same length. Typical millennial. He's also not a regular member of the tour, and struggles on the web.com.

128 in the rankings and 256 in FedEx points.
He doesn't need his physics degree to figure out he won't be keeping that card.

You can not like the dude, but he has his full card and won an event on the web last year.

And he's 128 on the fedex cup with 256 points, wouldn't say he has zero chance of keeping his card since he's only 3 spots out.

And won the US AM and the NCAA in one year.

I think the guys a goofball, but you can't knock his accomplishments.

Join the military and yield a sword. If you need a limb amputated drink some whiskey and bite a towel. If you need to cut a tree down grab your tandem saw with your buddy. If you hunt prime that musket up.

Hes also likely made more money than you do playing his goofy golf.

Stop being an old curmudgeon. People like you on the course are actually the gold standard of what's wrong with the game.

He also looks like a bitch using a push a cart.
No amount of money will earn my respect - especially when someone uses a push cart to play a man's game.

So upholding the traditional rules of the game, walking, exercising appropriate etiquette, all while playing in under 4 hours and 25 minutes is what is wrong?

Using a push cart to hold your boom box to blare limp bizkit on the range while you film your 14th re-shoot of calf photos and cigarette butt flicking technique videos is what is wrong with the game and the direction that it is headed.

Why don't you go ahead and order one of these GX7 with your push cart
