Richard Hunt -- an honorary member of the Sunday Morning Group -- has the solution. He writes:
"I was in the parking lot after a fall round at Van Cortlandt, in the Bronx -- our nation's oldest public golf course, founded in 1895 -- and I was scraping goose turds from the grooves in my cart tires with a tee, and cursing, when a guy across the lot opened his trunk and pulled out a gargantuan laundry bag. It took me a minute to realize the genius: the bag contained his Sun Mountain Speed Cart."

Rick, an S.M.G. regular, saw my bag and devised a solution of his own, an enormous Williams-Sonoma shopping bag. (They give you one free if you order 100 pounds of peppermint bark.)
