My point  is that I don't care what others choose to do, and never have.  It makes no difference whether or not they are capable of walking.  It's a simple case of free choice.  If someone enjoys the game more by kicking back and riding, that's fine

Yeah fair enough. We are agreed on the silly board thing though ;-)

Yes, yes I would! And, given the first chance to do so, I did!

This statement just reinforces my previous comment.  You think you are somehow more pure because you walk, and you look down your nose at those who don't.  I used to walk, but I was never so full of m

I'm not sure where you come from, but in NY most people can barely manage to get on an escalator without killing themselves and others. Someone has to work pretty hard to get hurt in a golf car

Lol.

Actually Phil is pretty good on a jet ski the stand up style so I would bet he could handle one of these things

This looks awesome, I would love to try this out. I enjoy the fact that you it keeps you active through the whole round. I don't see it as something that will replace the golf cart though. To much liability and unfamiliar users are at a higher risk of putting it in the drink.

Needless to say, I would definitely use it if it was affordable.

It really is kind of sad that with any new product that comes on the market (not just this one) the first thing that we all think of is how it won't work. Too much liability, going to cause injury. We never used to worry about these things as kids! If something looked cool we wanted to try it broken bones be damned! Too many lawsuits from too much spilled coffee has made life pretty boring these days. Nice to see some outside thinking on this product. Stop worrying about how it's going to hurt you.

golf courses will opt for the stand up bag holder with the stabalizing handle.  this gives the rider something to hang onto to aid in balance and steering

I see a future where golf designers along with a traditional course might have a 9 hole track that is part terrian park part golf course

I still think this is a horrible idea, especially with all the stupid driving people do in golf carts... The potential for injury with one of these is pretty high. Now, I do think it would be cool to buzz around the neighborhood on one of these though. However, for the price you guys are quoting it'll never happen, much more fun things I could spend that much on.

I'm not sure what's elitist about saying people should use the two legs they were given instead of sitting around on their arses all day as is the fashion these days.

The comments came off as elitist...big time. I golf for enjoyment and relaxation. If I want exercise, I'll run, box, or hit the gym...not walk 2.5 miles an hour.

Same, golf as exercise wouldn't do much for me. If I sweat it's a hot day not due to exertion. I suppose it depends on course design but I wear a pedometer, the difference between walking and riding where I play isn't as vast as it seems. Walking offers a straight line through the course. Getting in and out of the cart walking from paths to tees and greens doesn't. A walking day and a riding day for me is difference of 2500 hundred steps +/-. While that sounds huge it's not. If I walk around the block at work it's about 1800 steps.

[/IMG]Today I got the chance to ride the golfboard @National G.C in Las Vegas,NV for 9 holes (had to go to work) 9 holes took about 3 hours due to being a full comp day for casino hospitality industry. Anyhow, I didn't plan on riding the board but the course were running out of carts and the board was free ($15 for 9 or $20 for 18 holes) National claims to be the only course in the nation to be renting the golfboard. You have to watch a really boring video, then show the cart guy you can ride one, at first I thought it was hokey but actually came to really enjoy the experience. The only rule was no riding directly on the greens or in. the T box. It would Really shaves off a lot of time under normal course pace of play. The only thing is you are a tall standing lame duck if a ball comes your way lol. I recommend trying it out if you're here in Vegas

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
