Robo Cart

We got a couple of these at work. Now I used to be a caddy from age 10 up through college. I’ve never owned a push/pull cart and only take a drive cart whe...

I'd take one of those if I was playing by myself. If playing with somebody I just put my clubs on their cart and walk. Can't believe how much easier it is to walk without carrying or pushing a cart, plus you feel like a pro.

I walked the other day without a push cart, just carrying. I was surprised how much easier it was. Plus, I could hop on one of my partner's riding carts for the few long hauls from green to tee.

I was wondering when Typhoon said he was farmers walking two of those around. I know he's a strong dude but that sounded a bit much

Saw these at a course in Florida last winter. I think they rented them for a few $$$ cheaper than renting a
riding cart, but I didn't see anyone using them. Great exercise, I would think....

if it were a option (for me) I’d use it.

I think we’d get more people if, like you mentioned, they were less. Maybe between the $5 pull carts and the $20 drive cart.

Tons of people see them and ask me questions since I’m the outside guy. They all like the idea but seem afraid to try one.

fatshot I love that bike idea! But you'd want an electric option. If you rode one of those around a few of the courses in my area without the electric boost option, you'd be exhausted just from the bike ride.

Typhoon

Yeah, I couldn’t do 185 in each hand at once. I only weigh 133.😂. Thx for turning the pics. I’ll have to try posting a landscaper pic like Ricochet mentioned.

Those are awesome! I would try one for sure.

"you'd be exhausted just from the bike ride..."

That's what I'd be afraid of.....even staying on cart paths, I could get out to the FARTHEST hole from the clubhouse and my thighs could be shaking from overwork!!! I'd have to work out on a bike for a few weeks before trying one of those!!! Mrs. Fatshot and I debated renting a couple of them, but opted for the safer route and rode....

Typhoon, did your course investigate other options, like follow-along electric push carts (e.g., [https://www.stewartgolfusa.com/products/stewart-golf-x9-follow]? It seems to me that you could stock more of these (since their less than half the price) and rent them at a more reasonable cost. Maybe they just don't have the "cool factor" (or the place to put your drink).

We only have 2 and I think they just leased them to see if there was any interest. He ordered them with the Covid crap and no drive carts at the beginning. Now we have the drive carts so....

I've always wanted to rig up one of my enduro or motocross bikes to carry my bag, but I could never get the Country Club to go for it......

Typhoon I’d rock the shit out of that thing. I prefer that idea to riding all day, that said, I only ride when it’s required or a work function where it’s expected. Even then, I’m the guy grabbing a club or 2 and telling them to take the cart. I’d buy one.

I think I would enjoy playing with one of them. None currently available at any courses near me yet, but if anyone gets them I’d give it a shot. In the long run I’d cheap out and revert to the pull cart, but it would be cool to walk without having to maneuver the bag.
