So how do you get your clubs around the course?
Stand bag? Trolley? Elec trolley??

Now I have facility for all three but feel really lazy and quite frankly a bit embarrassed if I even consider, at the age of 27, pulling out the electric remote controlled trolley and power my way around the course.

Whats your mode of transport...?
 
Carry, although I do keep considering a trolley. Even though I've spent so long taking the mickey out of trolley users in the past.
 
At 60 with the hips going and knee gone it's all down to having a cart these days.

Only been playing the game for 4 years as well! Never carried but in the garage is a pull trundler and a remote control electric trundler.

Kept both...JUST in case!
 
Depends:

18 holes or less on a nice day - carry pencil bag.

More than 18 holes in a day - leccy trolley

Any number of holes on a crappy day - leccy trolley

All through the winter - stand bag
 
Got a pencil bag, 3 stand bags, a cart bag, and a tour bag. Sometimes I carry, sometimes I use electric. I won't use a pull trolley due to rotational issues with my back and neck. Last time I carried 14 clubs, it wasn't the best idea I have had, so normally if I am carrying, I take a few out, and 'go light'.
I use the pencil bag when it is temporary greens. I feel a total wally when I am using the electric, with every item bar the kitchen sink, to bash round 18 temps.
Always go electric if it is raining.
 
Well they just seem a bit unnecessary, golf clubs are not heavy and its supposed to be exercise, why not have a device that makes your clubs fly and have done with it.

Electric trolleys are just a bit pointless
 
Electric trolly, once tried you'll never go back to pulling or carrying.
Couldn't give 2 hoots what anyone thinks about it either, golf is more enjoyable without the unnescessary effort of pulling or carrying imo.
 
Always carry, and I have a pencil\light standbag, and a normal standbag.

I use the lighter bag normally in the summer when I don't need waterproofs and the like, and the other standbag in the winter, or the wet\cold.

I would probably consider a trolley as the back\knees\hips go, but that should be a long way off yet. :)
 
I currently carry but am getting a push trolley. Have looked at my stats and my performance on the back 9 is far worse than the front 9 and I know it's because I get tired and my swing gets sloppy.
 
I'm currently in the pull trolley camp but might well be switching to carrying this week.

lugging my trolley up the hills at my home course is getting a bit much for the back.
 
Used a leccy trolley for the past three years and imo it makes a huge difference. When I caddied last summer I was knackered carry the bags round
 
I use a pull trolley, keep meaning to get a pencil bag for when I head out in the evenings but haven't got around to it yet. Nothing against electric trolleys but wouldn't carry if I can help it, 18 holes is tiring enough for me without carrying a bag too.

an individual golf club isn't that heavy, but 14 are heavy enough to make a difference... add on your balls, waterproofs etc and it all adds up.

Electric trolleys have many good points that far outweigh the one or two obvious bad points.
 
So carrying on from my OP, do you think at 27, fit and able, I should feel embarrassed when using an electric trolley?????

Turn up at any elite amateur event and see how many people a lot younger than you that aren't embarrassed using them.

Or the short answer.......NO. :D
