Some people love to play golf because apart from the enjoyment that they get from it, they also tend to reap various health benefits such as adequate sun exposure. However, having to carry the clubs around the field can prove to be tiring, which is why pushcarts specifically designed for golfers emerged. This article tackles the things you should know about golf push carts, including what you need to consider before buying, as well as how to properly use these carts.

Golf is sometimes viewed as a less challenging sport that isn’t on par with other sports in terms of physical demand and complexity. But the truth is, golf is a pretty hard game to master with a learning curve that can be unforgiving to the inexperienced. Beginners are often overwhelmed by the number of techniques and exercises they should learn about, in addition to finding the proper equipment for their skill level and golfing style. But just like with any sport, practice makes perfect.

Paramus NJ, The Northern Trust (which was previously known as The Barclays), the first event of the Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs, will be played August 21-26 at The Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey, will not only have incredible views of the best players in the world in a truly thrilling competition, but will have the very best that New Jersey can offer in Fashion, Food and Do-or-Die Drama.
The Ridgewood Country Club is a twenty-seven-hole private golf course and clubhouse constructed in Paramus, New Jersey and opened on May 30th, 1929. The Norman Revival clubhouse, located at the north end of the property, is the core from which three nine-hole loops extend toward the southwest, south, and southeast. The golf course was designed by A.W. Tillinghast, and the clubhouse by Clifford Wendehack. Tillinghast and Wendehack, respectively, were among the foremost golf and clubhouse architects of the early twentieth century.
THE NORTHERN TRUST is the first of four events in the FedExCup Playoffs, the culmination of the season-long competition that is the centerpiece of the PGA TOUR Season. Played in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area, THE NORTHERN TRUST features do-or-die drama as the top 125 players compete to advance, and for one in five, their season will end. With strong ties to the essential elements of New York culture, the event is a celebration of fashion, food and the best golfers on the planet. Many of the world’s top players have won THE NORTHERN TRUST including Adam Scott, Jason Day, Matt Kuchar and 2017 champion Dustin Johnson, who won the event for the second time in thrilling playoff over Jordan Spieth. Since the tournament’s inception in 1967, it has generated more than $46.2 million for New York/New Jersey Metropolitan-area charities, including $1.4 million in 2016.
