It is admittedly a bit goofy but if I was worried about looking cool, I probably wouldn't be playing disc golf...

I've got a modified baby jogger. I can hang 2 revo, or similar, bags on it (mine and my wife's) and have a nice mini cube cooler. The real benefit it is, I mounted a bucket on the front for trash and go to great lengths to keep the courses I play clean. I've also mounted a propane heater once in the winter and a fan a few times in the summer to keep the wife happy.

As a healthy, young to middle-aged man, can't see the use for one. I'm sure that you guys that do use a cart have convinced yourselves that it's practical or even necessary for you to shoot your best game. It's not, however. If you're handicapped or have an injury that limits you from carrying a bag, by all means get a cart - I would. Otherwise, you just look lazy or fanatical.
Lazy, perhaps. Thirsty? No! Mine was a gift that I customized. I use it on a few local flat terrained courses, but leave it at home when I play the hilly parks. I gotta admit, I felt kind of like a dunderhead when I first took it out but I very quickly realized how much more pleasant it is to be able to carry more without weighing yourself down.
I herniated a disc in my neck in April and it pinched the radial nerve down my right arm. I made myself a cart out of an old ball golf cart and it saves me a ton of "on and off my shoulder" and a ton of "up and down".
There's another local around here who makes really nice looking wood pull carts like this one:
They work much nicer, are top quality craftsmanship and look good. The thing has a built in cooler and everything.
If you can't stand guys like him then why would you purposely try to play behind him???
It just looks comfy. Add a foldable pole to get stuff out of the water ( yes, i need that ^^ ), a beercooler and a bigger umbrella that also works as parasol and i would buy it. For chillout sessions, not for tournaments of course.
