Thread Name: Golf bag stands on instr. cases
Subject: RE: Golf bag stands on instr. cases
Thrift stores are just about full to the gills with old pull-behind golf carts at giveaway prices. The reason is that most golf courses now require that players use electric carts. It speeds up play so they are able to run more players per day through the course. Plus they get the added income from the cart rental. Thirty years ago most players walked while pulling their clubs along behind them. Only the lazies rode carts. Now the old type carts are about as useless as tits on a boar hog.

BTW the new style golf bags with wheels are really only designed to be rolled short distances, like from the parking lot to the cart shack. They'd probably never stand up to being pulled around too many 18-hole rounds.

(No, I don't play golf, but my stepson manages a course.)
