The surf board carts I could bet behind on the PGA tour.

He'd try to get the PGA tour to let him use the hovercraft.
LOL! I have this mental image of volunteers just running up to him with the "QUIET" signs and waving frantically.
I carried my own bag in college and didn't think twice about it. Now I see players pushing their bags around the course. Is this bad? Nice just a sign of the times.
When I caddied I carried the bag over either shoulder. Now caddies have dual straps. It's helped them out. So why would progressing to push carts for caddies make them any less useful. I don't see the change happening but wonder why such a strong stance against by some.
For me, it's simply a look thing. I understand in NCAA golf. They don't have caddies, the cart allows them to save some energy. I just can't imagine seeing push carts on tv or a caddie walking away after a club decision is made and pushing a cart.
So mine is strictly opinion more so than anything else.
Why not allow push carts for the Sherpa er... caddie? Those bags ain't light and it could extend a caddie's career. We're talking about a person's livelihood who doesn't make the millions. This guy ain't in the 1%.
caddy himself shouldn't even be assisting the player with decisions, advice, conditions, and reads and all else. They should simply carry clubs without bag, find his ball, offer no performance guidance, and be the servant they originally were.
All tradition starts via change. Any tradition began somewhere at some time via change or invention and its only a tradition until the next change takes place. But of course it usually meets resistance just like the first bags did. So if preserving tradition is your main objective than perhaps you should carry your clubs loosely in a bundle. After all, before bags existed that was the tradition and when bags appeared they refused to accept them because of tradition. But that changed didnt it. Now its a norm and so would push carts be a norm in exctly the same way.
The help, info, etc a caddie provides to a player is dependent on what the player wants so that is more of a change in player caddie relationship,that just the caddie taking on that role and i would venture to guess it started when a player asked a caddie for some info rather than a caddie saying hey how about this and then another player saw it and started doing it and so on.
In reality there isn't one caddie who has raised this as a concern so to me it's a non issue. Why the attacks on those in the thread who offered their opinion and gave a reason because of tradition? The thread was started to get opinions and people gave them and the majority by a large margin disagree with you on this.
