| One of my favorite golfing accessories is the Sun Mountain Speed Cart. I’ve had mine for several years now. Prior to the Speed Cart, I used to carry my bag. Sure, the double strap helped out a lot, but it never made any sense losing 3 or more strokes simply because lugging your golf bag on your back tired you out towards the end of the round. Heck, even the pros don’t carry their own bag.
The Speed Cart is the next best thing to a caddy – and may even be better. I love to walk because I get into a better rhythm than when I ride. I have time to consider my next shot as I walk to my ball as well as time to take in my surroundings and enjoy the round. Besides making walking easy on the golf course, the Speed Cart really makes playing in less than ideal weather a breeze. |
Here’s the real genius of the Speed Cart. It has an umbrella holder. When it rains simply strap your umbrella into the umbrella holder on the handle of the Speed Cart. In this position, the umbrella covers you and your clubs, and you don’t have to carry your umbrella.
Have you ever tried to carry your golf bag and an umbrella in the rain? What a pain in the arse! You’re left trying to keep yourself and your clubs dry while constantly juggling your club, towel, umbrella and bag. The Speed Cart lets you do that hands-free. And believe me you, you can stay a lot drier when your hands are free.
I used to think the stand bag was the greatest golf invention. This changed for me when my stand bag fell to the ground on several occasions after I’d carefully balanced my umbrella, club, etc., on it on a rainy day, trying to keep everything dry. Suffice it to say that the Speed Cart makes playing in the rain a piece of cake by keeping you and your clubs dry with little effort on your part. While everyone else is avoiding the golf course, you can play in the rain without much concern.
When you’re done, the Speed Cart folds up to fit in your trunk and still leaves plenty of room for your clubs. Check out the Speed Cart, it will change your golf game for the better.

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
