carry or trolley

[Parmo]

Yes, but last winter we had a trolley ban - carry or die!

Fair enough. I used to have a Mizuno Aerolite 2 and it was good but since changing to the Ogio Grom the extra weight & space of the bag has lead to being knackered by the 15th. I might try and flog the grom and get a lighter stand bag.

I use a pull trolley on my home course which I store at the caddyhouse. Abroad I use a carry bag and I enjoy carrying especially on hilly courses. Friday we played on a particular hilly course and me and my pal were carrying whereas my wife pulled her bag on a trolley. She promised that she will carry next time, too.

But I have to admit that sometimes after carrying I suffer from backpain in the evening.

Or stay indoors, keep warm and watch the telly

I'll use my trolley until we get the usual winter ban. By that time I'll probably be wearing the extra jumper and waterproofs so the bag won't be too heavy anyway.

It's not the weight of the bag parmo.....it's what you put in it. I doubt the Grom's more than 4-5 lbs, whats a lightweihgt one 2-3 lbs? I can't see it being a great weight saving.

 

[Parmo]

The Grom is 5.8lbs compared to other carry bags its one of the heaviest.

Do you carry a whole set?
I like taking a lightweight bag with reduced set
(3-wood, 7 wood, 5,7,9,SW putter)and limited extra clothing.
think I'd peg out if I carried the whole lot - must be keeping you fit!

Hi AliB
I carry most of my clubs (driver, hybrid, 6, 7, 8, 9, pw, sw & putter) with limited clothing.
I still have my trolley if I need it but hope to carry as much as possible.
And yes I hope it will keep me fit aswell
The bag I use is the Callaway Strike Light Stand Bag, it's really comfy hence why I have it.

If you like carrying try using a Titleist pencil bag - awesome and really lightweight.

The only reason I use an electric trolley sometimes is to carry extra gear (clothing) as carrying a heavy bag can be bad for the back - not when carrying, but picking it up and taking it off - lots of heavy twisting can be pretty dodgy if you have a history of back pain.

Carrying gets rid of the hassle of getting your clubs onto a trolley and getting the trolley ready. you can just pick up and go. I use a trolley for competitions though as the steel shafted irons become tiresome after a few holes.
