Push Carts Aren’t Just For Grandpa Anymore

I hate it when my golfing peers prove me wrong (it is not very often but it does happen). Our arguments always seem to revolve around my reluctance to change the outdated, older equipment that I use, and when I do throw a marginal piece of ‘New Technology’ in my bag and it works, they don’t let me live it down.
Now I am beginning to prove myself wrong.
When I play I prefer to carry my bag instead of using a motorized cart or push/pull cart, it’s just something I have always done. I like the time between shots to think about my round and how I might be attacking the next hole. My buddies argue that when I walk, I slow down their play (marginally); I think it more has to do with my not paying the other half of the cart fees, too bad.
Just last month I had some tournament book money to spend, and while I usually get 3-4 dozen Pro V1s and call it a day, I had this epiphany, so to speak, and suddenly found myself walking out of the Pro Shop with something I never envisioned myself owning, not even demoing, and I was excited about it! I bought myself a 3-wheeled push cart!
And with 4 rounds under my belt with this bad boy (Clicgear 2.0), it was like I was reborn! Why didn’t I do this years ago? Oh, my back…it feels sooo much better!
So, after putting a new driver in my bag, and currently looking at picking up the new TaylorMade Burner 3-wood and Rescue Hybrid, I am beginning to rethink all of my old traditional ways. I am actually starting to see that the new golf technology might be beneficial.
Maybe in another week I will do a detailed review, after I accessorize it a little (that means ‘Pimp it Out’ for all you hipsters).
