HOUSTON air ticket prices -- There are two different types of golf experiences -- riding in a cart and walking a course. The latter lets you see the course the way the architect intended. That is, if it's a walking course, air ticket prices and those do still exist.
Aside from having a caddie, though, using a push cart is the next best thing. Fortunately, the push cart has come a long way in the past few year, and nowhere is there a better example than Sun Mountain's SV1 Speed Cart .
I put the SVI to the test at historic Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston on a warm summer day. Riding is easier, but this wasn't unbearable. Play early in the morning, and it's actually quite pleasant.
Memorial Park is an old John Bredemus design with greens and tees close together. air ticket prices That helps, of course. It's also fairly air ticket prices flat. But as easy as it to maneuver the SV1, I would imagine a hilly course wouldn't be that much of a problem, especially with its good braking system.
There's an upgraded accessory tray that included a retractable scorecard tray as well as three separate storage compartments, one of which you could use for a rangefinder. And there's a mesh tray, perfect air ticket prices for holding head covers.
Some of the other features you'll find on the SV1 (as well as some other models) are an umbrella mount for an open umbrella as well as straps for a closed one. It also has a handle-mounted parking brake so the cart won't roll away.
There was a time that good players, air ticket prices when walking, carried their bags. Only hackers used hand carts. But these days, at any amateur tournament where golfers are required to walk, it's not uncommon to see as many players with push carts as there are players carrying their bags.
The SV1 makes toting your own clubs easy. It glides effortlessly, has plenty of little useful gadgets and holders and balances well. It's also fairly portable (not as much as the lighter micro-carts), so while you can't fly with it, it's easy to take on a road trip in your car.
The best part about using the SV1, however, is that it brings golf back to its roots. Being able to walk from the tee directly to the fairway and the green is the way golf was meant to be played -- not from the sides of the course and the cart path.
Of course, you have to play a course that's designed for walking, or at the very least, allows it. But it's an experience that transforms golf into a different game, no matter what anybody air ticket prices tells you.
