a very tired back 9

[G_Mulligan]

First game of the year should I be surprised that I was so tired after 12-13 holes? It was really cold which does not help but having quit smoking and worked on fitness I did not expect to feel so tired and my swing really suffered badly over the last few holes.

I like to carry my bag but I could not help thinking that I should start using a trolley for Saturday comps?

I have a nike sasquach weighing 5.5 lbs is there going to be a noticeable difference by swapping to a 3.5-4 lb bag when it is fully loaded up?

So what do you guys reckon, trolley, lighter bag, or keep working on fitness and leg strength?

If you're getting tired after 12 holes, you're not fit enough.

I am about to head out for a round now. with the hangover head, I am too lazy to move my clubs over to the trolly bag.

due to this laziness I will be carrying for 18 holes.

I felt like this once are started carrying my bag again but after. A few weeks I was back in shape and gliding through 18 holes.

Keep going and good luck

Man up, it's a game of golf fella, not a triathlon.

Got to work tonight

Are you playing at Blackmoor next week ? (10th ?)

There should be a ban on anyone under 60 using a trolley unless a medical condition prevents carrying... I'm going to hide now 🏃

Too obvious :smirk:

I have found my concentration wavering after 12-13 holes on a few rounds but physically, even on some of the wonderfully undulating courses in Sheffield, no concerns. Even so I am going to start trolley-pushing this season to ease up on the set-down, pick-up of carrying.

Trolly for me. I have no shame. Lets me carry waterproofs, drink etc without feeling like a Sherpa.

None of the pros carry their bags, so why should you? There are plenty of studies to show carrying has an effect on your game, no matter how fit you are. My game is certainly better over the back 9 since I started using a trolley.

Going the carry this year in friendly's and use a GoKart for comps, I have to say I find carrying easier than pushing a non electric trolley
