Ah, the great push cart debate. Well, it’s not really a debate at all, but PGA Tour players have turned it into one on Twitter … kind of.

Players during the 2014 NCAA golf championships have been using push carts during their rounds, most notably the Stanford Cardinal team. Players have their own reasons for using a push cart, be it an injury or attempting to increase stamina, but the reason behind it doesn’t seem to affect the opinions of some.

Stanford’s Cameron Wilson used a push cart, likely due to a previous back injury, during the championship, and won the individual title in a playoff over Georgia Tech’s Ollie Schniederjans. Coincidence? We may never know.
While it may not be much of a two-sided argument – because most pros are against using them in tournament play – it does make for an interesting conversation:

No dog in the fight, but you can’t win NCAA with a pull cart. C’mon man

Seeing that dob kits and long putters weren’t allowed on trips because they didn’t fit in approved luggage – no push carts in OSU future

@BigEinBigD @OSUtjaka OSU golf got made fun of when they brought out bags with stands. Push cart probably is smart but I just couldn’t do it

@BigEinBigD I can’t remember ONE guy EVER using a pull cart in college. That’s one step away from retirement, not the PGA tour. #soft

If these pros have a problem with using a push cart, I’d hate to hear what they’d have to say about this robotic cart that follows you around the course … or maybe I’d love to hear it.
The NCAA Championships continue through Wednesday, with LSU and Alabama squaring off in one semifinal match, and Stanford and Oklahoma State in the other.
