I kinda felt it when I’d be at the airport and want to carry my own luggage no I don’t want any help thank you I’ve got this.

I wondered if a club “understanding” was involved in this. Country clubs used to — don’t know about currently — require you to buy a certain number of fancy meals in the dining room each month. You couldn’t just pay extra, you had to show up. It was a matter of economics: if they didn’t serve enough meals they couldn’t keep staff. Caddies are somewhat the same deal: if too few players use caddies then all of the caddies will go somewhere else and no one gets to use a caddie.
Electric cart economics are, as I understand it, somewhat similar. To support enough carts that they never have to say, “We’re out of carts,” they have to require players to use (and pay for) carts every time.Report
