How to Buy a Hand Cart for Golf
You can get more exercise from a round of golf if you walk the course rather than ride in an electric cart. Don’t think that you must haul your clubs around nine or 18 holes on your back like a pack animal to get the added benefits of a walk. You can buy a hand cart for your golf clubs and be kind to your back while you’re working on your heart’s health.

1
Rent or borrow a hand cart for your clubs the next time you go out. It’s best to get the feel of pulling or pushing your own clubs before you buy. If the pro shop has several different types of carts, try them all.

2
Chat up people on the course about the carts they’re using. Ask them what they like, what they would change and if they would buy the same cart next time.

Do some research to learn as much as you can about available options on hand carts for golf. There are all sorts of carts: push carts and pull carts, as well as push/pull carts (the front wheel folds away); carts with water bottle holders; carts with equipment baskets; carts with folding seats. If money is no object, you can even purchase a cart with remote control.

Decide how you want your cart equipped, then start your serious shopping. As you browse the internet and visit golf shops, pay attention to the size of the wheels (bigger wheels may make your cart easier to pull or push) and the handle (a bigger handle will give you more control whey you go over obstacles).

Tips & Warnings
Select the best cart you can find for the money you have to spend. A cheap, flimsy cart may not be any savings at all if you need to replace it after your first round.
