No matter how it all got started, to save our planet we need to reduce our carbon emissions. It seems hard to believe that anyone would not realize it, the electric golf carts they drive all over the links do have a 'carbon cost' to the environment. Obviously when these carts are plugged in to re-charge, the electricity is provided by the burning of fuels that cause carbon emissions.
Modern push cars for golf now are much improved in design and are rapidly replacing the old pull cart design. Time was, when the golf cart was your basic tripod metal vehicle for getting your golf bag around the golf course. These pull carts were never all that popular because they were not ergonomically engineered and can produce shoulder and back strain.
Today's push carts are designed to reduce any upper body injuries as you push the cart in front of you. The three wheel designs make for a much more stable cart and now carts can roll over even the even the 'out of bounds' areas without tipping over.
The golf carts are high-tech golfing gadgets which may have special features that include a portable office caddy that can not only carry your clubs, but your lunch, your GPS, even your iPhone. It has everything you need to have a virtual office right there as you play the course.
For many courses, pace of play is important and if you move too slowly, a course Marshall may remand you. Using a push cart actually can increase your pace of play as you are not driving from side to side of the fairway. Add to this the fact that, many courses mark off parts of the course that you can't drive a motorized golf cart on (typically near the green and around the tee boxes) so you have to drive the cart away from where your ball is and walk back. This definitely slows down your pace of play
Deciding on buying a push pull golf cart can be a great way to reduce what you spend on your sport as you won't need to rent a motorized cart. It is also a great way to increase the exercise you get from playing a round of golf. This will not only make you look leaner and more fit, you'll see the ladies take notice too!
