I carry. I don't carry sand because its too heavy and I don't want to count on the ambassadors for water when I need it.
If I make a divot someone with a cart usually fixes it. When they hit it in the water or any place far away from the cart path, I get there first and retrieve it.
Somehow it all works out.
If I could call the shots. I would have a box of sand/grass mix on the tee. I'd also have a piece of PVC to hold my sun umbrella near each bench or in the absence of a bench, near the ball wash. It would also be a little bit of shade while I am waiting to hit.
I think we need more shade on the newer courses. PVC is cheap and I don't mind carrying an umbrella.
