not even close.  more like between 1000 and 1500 depending on length of round, pulling, pushing or caddie.

100? Don't we burn something like 70 calories per hour while sleeping?

“You’re not discombobulated worrying about the cart. You focus on the game, not on where to park.”

Is driving a cart that challenging for some? I prefer to walk, but find a cart to be way less an imposition than do others.

I think maybe he meant 1000 and 1500. :-)

Edited above to the correct 1000. We studied the affects of golf on your health extensively for a client a few years back.

Anyway......
It's very refreshing to hear about members that merely enjoy a bag carrier, providing a price comparable alternative to a cart, without all the baggage.(pardon the pun)
 Hope it all works out.

Win-win
