Golf Push Cart
Similar to the pull cart, except that it is designed for pushing (like baby stroller) instead of pulling. Push carts comes in either 2-wheel or 3-wheel. 3-wheelers are more common for a good reason. It is easier to push with 3-wheel than 2-wheel. Golf push cart are more pricey than pull cart.
