Once you start playing golf seriously and need to take regularly clubs and other golf equipment to the green, you soon realize that owning a golf cart is a must to avoid carrying stuff on your back and having to make multiple trips to the car. The role of a golf cart, also called a "caddy" is to carry your clubs during your play so they can easily follow you on the green wherever you go. If you frequently play several hours a week, acquiring a golf cart becomes a necessity.
Once you've made up your mind to get a golf cart, you need to decide which type to get. There are motorized carts, pulled carts, and pushed carts. If you don't want to pay the high prices of motorized carts, and if you don't want to exert a lot your arm and shoulder muscles pulling the cart, your best option is to get a pushed golf cart which is normally equipped with either three or four wheels, has good stability, and is ideal for use in particular on flat terrains. Other important points to consider when buying a golf cart is the ease with which it can be folded and stored in your car, the maneuverability of the cart, the amount of storage area available on the cart for your personal belongings such as balls, score cards, bottle of water, umbrella, etc., and the availability of additional accessories that would make your game more pleasant and interesting. The presence of an adjustable handle is also part of the details to consider before your purchase. Indeed, this will allow you to adjust the carriage height to your height, eliminating the need to twist your body or bend every time you need to take something from the bag. Finally, make sure the frame and wheels are strong enough to hold all your golf equipment, which undoubtedly will weigh several pounds. This article will compare CaddyTek SuperLite Deluxe and Clicgear Model 3.5+ push golf carts. Among Amazon customers, these were not just the most popular in their category at the time this article was written, but they have also received excellent reviews from most Amazon buyers.
