Ok for me this is a sensitive subject. Even since I've caddied as a kid i have hated trolleys with a passion, but a reoccurring injury is making me consider using one, even though I really don't want to...... especially this time of year,
When I was 18 I broke my knee badly wrecking my cartridge, acl and pcl and pretty much every other internal part of the knee, it has been suggested on multiple occasions to consider a knee replacement but at the 33 I still think this is a bit of a premature thing to do... Maybe mid 40's
. Anyway, this year I've dropped around 2 stone in weight in order to get healthy, but my main reason was to ease the wear and tear on the knee, my theory in losing a few stone can only ease the pressure on the knee, but in recent weeks its really acting up, after about 9 holes it starts to burn/twinge and normally the day after golf it's pretty stiff... Ooh er. I carry a lightweight sun mountain bag which normally has the bar minimum in, so regarding this I don't think it's possible to make my bag weigh any less, so I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that it may now be time for a trolley, not because I need to, more a case of having to.
My question is do any forum members suffer with a similar problem and have they found going to a trolley helps, if it doesn't make a difference then it's pointless swapping across, but amu excess wear on the knee is just going to wear it out quicker than it already is so I think it's time to swallow the pride and get me a pram for me sticks...
I'm shocked, I find this unbelievable, you must be pulling my ..........
You are only 33 ? I thought Swinger making out he was in his 20's was far fetched.
