Nah, all the young low handicapers around my way do it. also you have to have the alignment sticks hanging out to complete the look.

I guess that most people play golf for leisure rather than seeing it as a way of losing weight - indeed any benefit of the walking is promptly lost with a post game beer anyway. it is proven that carrying increases the risk of back problems so most chose to push to make life easier.

I carry and have alignment sticks. What does that make me? (The sticks aren't fashionable but just handy to have incase I ever need them)

young and on the way to single figures.
im just pointing out what ALL the young low guys do round my way. i dont think they need to carry the sticks all the time. leave them for the range. i just think they are kind of an accessory on the course.

My problem was that I used to forget my sticks for the range!! So I just leave them in my bag. By chance do you know Mark McKeone?

I'd like to see that proof.
I always prefer to carry unless I'm playing 36.
And dont get me started on sticks

Is it the lack of a piece of rubber connecting them that offends you?
BTW I love to carry, it does help you get fit! I used an electric trolley in comps, carried in practice rounds (mostly).

I used to carry but my back gave out on me last year. I bought a push trolley before being offered an electric trolley at a price I couldn't resist.

I mainly carry. I have a leccy for when I play 36, or in a medal, but I carry for social golf.
I also have the sticks poking out. Not for the look, and they rarely get used for their intended purpose, but as somewhere useful to park my glove and my head cover. One day all bags will be made with sticks poking out. It's so useful.

I always used to carry and still do at times but after trying a push trolley last year I found it so much easier especially in comps. Leccy one is top of wants lust now.
I have sticks too much easier than laying clubs down to check alignment.

Yes, really...
Used to carry, and prefer it, but haven't in 7 years. If I had to carry, I wouldn't be able to play - old age and bits falling off

I would have thought it was fairly certain that carrying a bag of clubs has to to be worse for your back than not carrying a bag of clubs - even if using a dual strap that's perfectly fitted, the sheer extra weight on your back must be more detrimental than not having anything there at all....
There's also the fatigue issue - again, if you're carrying a bag of clubs it has to take more out of you than walking without them on your back.
I carry in the Winter as we have a "Hedgehog" rule for trolleys and I don't like them! But once the ban is lifted - out come the trolley
