QCQuiet CarryFitting for walkers

Trailhead for walkers, Durango

Fitted for the golfer who carries.

Quiet Carry fits clubs for people who walk the course with their own bag. Lighter sets, honest numbers at six and a half thousand feet, and advice that respects your back.

Trailhead to tee

A fitting here is part conversation, part measurement, and entirely unhurried.

  1. Weigh in

    We weigh your bag and each club. You may be surprised.

  2. Walk through the round

    We ask how many holes, which hills and how long you carry.

  3. Hit and adjust

    With altitude-aware numbers on the screen.

  4. Pack out

    A written plan, a lighter set and a shorter list of clubs.

A good round is a good walk

Wes Hartigan guided river trips on the Animas for nine years and caddied at Hillcrest on his days off. He noticed that the golfers who walked were happier, and also that most of them were hauling a bag built for a cart.

He opened Quiet Carry in 2014 with a small bench, a launch monitor and a bathroom scale. The scale is still the first thing we use: weigh the bag, weigh the clubs, then talk about what you actually need.

Imogen Pratt joined as a builder in 2017 and Teo Marquez in 2021 for bags and walking gear. Between them they have built more than two hundred light sets for people who would rather not use a cart.

From the trail

I lost four pounds from my bag and gained ten yards on my drives. Wes made both happen.

Janet R., Durango

Imogen built me a set that weighs less than the driver in my old bag. I walk all eighteen now.

Tom B., Bayfield

They told me exactly how far my clubs fly at altitude. I had been guessing for twenty years.
