I know it!
I did find a course that is selling the clicgear 4.0, but I don't really want to spend $300 on a push cart that I don't know how long I'll actually use it.

A good friend of mine bought Grandview golf course in Kalkaska, look for good things happening there!

Bit the bullet on a carry bag from Dick’s since golf galaxy is running 20% off and I could get it immediately.
Got a tee time today at Hickory Hill to test out the new bag as well. Never played there but I’m hoping for a good experience.
I went out and played 9 holes at Grandview. It wasn't pretty! 4 balls sliced Into the Woods right off the bat on the first tee. I really struggled but it was nice to be out there and it was good exercise. Not a soul on the course as it is not open yet.
First COVIDian Law Rules round set for Friday afternoon, I'm actually excited to play this course while not being 3 sheets to the wind for once. maybe I can score better than 100

Nice! I've been out twice so far and it's definitely different not going out to the course with a minimum of a 6-pack. Where you playing?First COVIDian Law Rules round set for Friday afternoon, I'm actually excited to play this course while not being 3 sheets to the wind for once. maybe I can score better than 100

Hi all, it's been awhile.
I got out yesterday and played the Bear Lake course. Played 9 plus a few extra holes. Score wise I only had one double and one par so not bad for me. I also only lost two golf balls! lol

I was out yesterday at Caberfae Peaks. The course was in great shape. My game... not so much.
Shout out to @wubears71 for bringing this up about his state in another thread....
My playing partner has Parkinson's. Our course just opened and he texted yesterday that when we play, he might have to skip some holes as he is limited to how much he can walk. So I sent an email to the Director of the course asking if there was an exception in the Governor's order for physically impaired. There is.
This is what he sent to me....
EO 2020-59: Are golf courses allowed to be open?
Yes, subject to strict conditions as required by this order and Executive Order 2020-43, governing places of public accommodation. Tee times must be scheduled and payments must be made in advance, online or by phone. Tee times must be spaced to avoid multiple foursomes from clustering or gathering at any stage of the course, and players must remain six feet from one another at all times. Maintenance workers and groundskeepers can come to work to maintain the safety and sanitation of the course, but neither the course nor its workers may provide goods, supplies, equipment, or services to golfers on premises. Accordingly, caddies, starters, and golf carts may not be provided, and clubhouses, pro shops, driving ranges, and miniature golf courses must remain closed. The order, however, does not prohibit a golf course from arranging for an accommodation for a golfer with a disability who requires one under state or federal law; confirmation of and arrangements for any such necessary accommodation must be carried out with the course in advance, online or by phone. Food and beverage may be sold for takeout, but may not otherwise be served to golfers. Under the order, all work must be carried out remotely to the greatest extent possible, and any in-person work that is permitted must be done in accordance with the mitigation measures required under section 11 of the order—including the heightened social-distancing rules required under section 11(h).
I'm not sure if it means one can simply claim a disability if they don't feel like walking, or if some sort of proof is required. My guess is that the course doesn't care one way or the other since carts generate revenue.
Personally, I like to walk even on the hottest days and years when there is no pandemic. But I thought this info might come in handy for the rest of the Michiganders.

The golf course I went to that I mentioned above, handed out carts only to those that had a handicap sticker or plate on their car.

I stopped by sanctuary Lake Troy, Monday to see if I could take a cart go play nine holes. He said the only way he could let me use a cart was if I had a doctors statement claiming a physical handicap. I haven't got that document, although I have a surgically-repaired right ankle that doesn't allow me to walk the course. I am 65 with arthritis in my right ankle after surgery 15 years ago which makes it difficult to walk that far. Sort of a bummer but I think I'll just wait till I am allowed to use a cart to play whenever that may be?

I appreciate your post, it supports my position. I agree, being 65 years old and needing a doctor's permit is sort of BS to me. I have played Moose Ridge before but it is sort of a long way from me.
