From a practical point of view, I think caddies prefer to carry the bag. The modern bags used by pros are huge and it would be difficult to find a trolley that the base would fit on. Also, there are restrictions as to where trolleys can be taken, particularly around greens. Finally, it can be very difficult to haul a trolley through thick rough. All in all, I think they prefer to lug the bag. I don't envy them though. I watched one of thecaddies at the women's tournament at St Andrews on Sunday, and the bag looked as if it weighed a ton.
