Why don't I ever see caddies or players using the 2-wheeled carts, like the one I (and *man* friends) use? Is there some rules about 'bags must be carried on the shoulder'? Seniors use powered, ride-in-em carts. What's 'wrong' with pull-carts? Just wondering, Pete

Hi Pete!
Why no carts for caddies....something about tradition. Seems that golf
is loaded with it so the caddies carry the bags. Also, no golf course
that's in the conidition that these courses the pros play on would want
to have tire marks running up and down the fairways.
Tradition is why you also never see a Pro play in shorts...except for one
year when some pro ducked into a porta-johnnie and changed into shorts for
the 18th hole (it was blistering hot)....don't know whatever happened to
that pro (don't know the name but I want to say that it was Paul Azinger)
as far as any fines etc.
As far as the Seniors...well I think they allowed power carts for the
older seniors for health reasons.

Well, I don't know about pro tours there, but every time I have played in the Far East (once in Hong Kong and twice in Japan) we had a female caddy pushing a cart with two bags. Tavo | |||||
