Caddies and Carts: Give Your Back a Break

Golf is a wonderful and satisfying sport (well, at least most of the time). But if you've been carrying your clubs around the course, you know what a job it can do on your back. Not so much the carrying (bad enough) but the picking up and putting down that usually gets the back to aching.

So today, I have Peter Mason discussing the advantages of using a golf cart or golf bag caddie cart to get you and your clubs to where they are going. One expensive, one inexpensive, but both can be back-savers.

Saving Your Back for the Game

Are you a novice golf player that wants to take your game to the next level? Are you tired of lugging your golf bag around the course? Well, there are several options available and it really depends on how much you?re willing to spend. Golf carts and golf caddie carts come in a wide variety to help you take some weight off your shoulders and enjoy your game more.

Most golf courses can rent you a caddie or cart but that can add up especially if you plan on playing frequently. You also will feel better owning something that you can call your own and personalizing it. And let?s face it; it can also be a status thing so you can impress your golfing buddies.

Golf Carts

Let's start with golf carts, which come in a variety of sizes and options. There are gas powered ones which are better for larger courses since they don't rely on recharging but they have a downside. Gas powered carts can be noisy and emit exhaust which can be bothersome to you and other players on the course. Most choose an electric golf cart since they are quiet and since golf courses provide charging stations.

Golf carts range in size and brand. There are reputable brands and some that are not as common but in any case most come with a warranty. If you have deep pockets and you really want something luxurious (and to impress your friends) there are even carts made by Rolls Royce and Jeep. These kinds of carts can be customized with many different options and are more for status than for utilitarian purposes.

Golf Bag Caddie Carts

If you don?t want to invest that much money into a cart but still want something to help with lugging your equipment around the course then think about getting a caddie cart. These range in price from a very basic model at about 60 dollars to ones with many features upwards of 1,000 dollars. Features vary but many are just bells and whistles and not really to improve your game (just your back). Some even come with a water dispenser!

Do Your Research

Golf caddies and carts can be found by shopping around on line or at pro golf shops. Before you buy a cart, make sure you take it for a test drive. There is sure to be a well stocked shop if you live in a city that has several golf courses but it'll be more challenging if you don't. Also ask other golfers who have carts for their recommendations and check out reviews online.

If you're serious about golf and don?t want to break your back then look into purchasing a golf cart or caddie cart. It will make your game more enjoyable.
