Though I was once an enthusiastically but thoroughly unskilled golfer, I haven't golfed more than a handful of times in the last 30 years. I really want to take it back up when the wife and I move to the house we are in the process of buying in The Villages. I would like to know more about the mechanics of carrying bags. I know that everyone seems to own a golf cart in TV, that we plan on buying one and that they can be used (or rented) at probably most or all of the courses there. Do people still use pull carts or push carts to golf? Or are they seen as too slow by the golf cart drivers playing? And does anybody actually carry their own bags and walk the courses? A buddy of mine was an avid golfer and swore by the new (to me, anyway) twin-strap bags that you wore like a backpack. He got good walking exercise while playing. Is that done? And are there courses where walking with or without a push/pull cart is encouraged or at least welcomed vs. courses where it's discouraged or even forbidden?
