Golf Push Carts
A golf push cart is essentially a small trolley designed to help carry golf clubs around the course. They come in all shapes and sizes, but the most popular have either 3 or 4 wheels. You can get both electric and push/push carts – obviously electric is more expensive. Before golf push carts became fashionable, you would either have to carry your own clubs around the course or pay a caddy to do it for you. While a caddy is great, lots of smaller clubs simply don’t have them – and if they do, they can also end up being quite expensive. Using a golf cart means that you can simply wheel your clubs around the course – meaning you’re always fresh to every hole. It can also speed up your game massively adding quality play time.

Each is designed to be used in a specific situation. A great example of this would be using a sand wedge to help you get out from a sand bunker. There are also different types of each club –Golf drivers for example there are iron drivers or wood drivers. This is simply the shape of the head and indicates how it should be used. An important aspect to consider when choosing a club it is loft – the angle between the clubs face and the vertical plane. Essentially, loft determines how far and long a shot will go. Most beginners don’t need to worry about this though. While most beginners don’t need every type of club, it’s generally recommended that they have at least woods, irons and putters.
