I have never use push or pull carts. I want to get one because I notice that I get tired in the last 4-5 holes. Are push carts and pull carts the same? If they are different, which one is easier to use? Also, please recommend a model and where to get it.
thanks,

Well, it all depends on whether you've got strong legs or strong arms, whether you'd be better off with a push or pull cart.....
Nah, just kidding....in seriousness, I don't really know what to recommend but here's a listing of a few for sale at a popular sporting goods store....I'm sure you can find others in many different places.
I purchased a push cart last September, I used a pull cart in the past and I much prefer the push cart...I would suggest one with tires that have air in them instead of the ones with hard rubber or plastic tires...Bag Boy makes a nice one, Sun Mountain is about the best around but you pay for it also, I bought mine which is a no brand off of EBay...about $85 delivered if I remember right.
The Sun Mountain push cart is probably the best of the 3 wheeler push cart lot, but I have always used a two wheeled pull cart. I have had several over the years, but my current favorite is the 2005 Bag Boy LT-440. Super light, large, easy rollling ball bearing wheels, water bottle holder and score card holder. I also use a special Bag Boy pull cart bag made just for pull carts. It puts the woods on top, and keeps them from hitting the cart handle. It has been a really good combo for a couple of rounds per week now for several months. I love the walking, and the cart keeps me from being so tired. The special cart bag is very lightweight, and it makes for a super light pull weight that is well balanced.
I have a Sun Mountain push cart that my wife gave me for Christmas. I love to walk and would like to carry, but it goofs up my right shoulder.
I almost feel guilty using the Sun Mountain - it's like having an SUV on the golf course. It holds an umbrella for you and is easy to push or pull. Seems to be a little easier to get around pushing the cart instead of pulling one behind.
