So I've been developing knee problems, mainly I'm getting very sore knee's while walking the course. I play about 3-4 rounds a week with a carry bag, which is basically 11km per round with a 20lb bag on my shoulders.

I have a few questions.

I am thinking of buying a push cart to take some of the strain away from my knees. Anyone know of a good decently priced push cart?

Anyone know anything I can do to help prevent further knee problems?

I tend to walk along the grass rather than on the cement cart path, this is easier on my knees right?


I refuse to ride on a cart, as walking the course is very enjoyable and good exercise. Any other suggestions would really help, stretches, anything because right now I am in so much discomfort golf is becoming difficult.

how old are you? both knees equally or just one?

22, it's mainly the right knee, but the left does get inflamed sometimes

Depends on your price range and what not. I prefer 3 wheelers instead of 2. If you want a 2wheeler you can get one for 30-50

I got this http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/cadie-golf-mountain-trail-push-cart.html because my bag sucked and my shoulder straps were broken/clubs would always fall out even after tightening it so I couldn't carry any more. I really like it as it comes with a break, umbrella stand (although it can twist off if your umbrella weighs a lot), and has a spot for your bottle but the card holder on it is pretty small so it is hard to place your card on it,

I got my dad this for his birthday http://www.amazon.com/Intech-Trac-3-Wheel-Pull-Golf/dp/B000A0IKHA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1342056589&sr=8-5&keywords=push+cart+golf. It is all right and functions like it is supposed to except I dislike the grips and it tends to go right instead of straight.

if I remember right your Left handed? Coming onto that right knee with with alot of force. Maybe just taking a break from swinging for awhile, Rest and Ice

Yes I am indeed. I have a skins game tomorrow, i'll be using a cart, then I'll rest for league play on Sunday

Keep playing
Bang a lot of porn stars and skanks
Fracture a bone or 2
Continue to play
Etc...

yea my neck was hurting a while back and when i was playing alot and now since ive taken a break its gotten better

Played skins tonight, my knee has become worse, to the point where I can't properly finish my swing properly.

I'm off until Sunday for league play, then I will be away from golf until my knee pains are completely gone, however long it takes.

What bag are you using right now?
