    By carrying your clubs with a correctly designed golf bag will you strengthen your back muscles?

    Carry my bag all the time, probably will get an electric trolley this year though, due to rounds in medals & weekend comps taking over 5 hours. After 18 holes I feel more of a strain in my calf muscle than my back and really thats not worth talking about. If reasonably fit carrying a stand bag for 18 holes is no bother.

    Carrying a bag gave me a back injury,so i went for the electric trolley and have found it way better than carrying.

    No I don't think carrying a bag will strengthen your back.

    Pulling a trolley used to strain my back but I find a good carry bag to be much better (you need a good balanced bag with dual straps that distributes the weight evenly on both shoulders).

    i got myself an Ogio Ozone standbag in american golf in dundrum village over the xmas.... for €119.... comes loaded with sweet little innovations.

    best bit is the "arc-lite" stand legs that come out and return in an arc to avoid hitting your shin as you pick up & go.


    chomping at the bit to field test the blooming thing.

    .... spose i could walk down to tesco with it on.
