You haven't found a rule. You've made an invalid assumption from observations flavored with your own prejudices. I know lots of very good players who ride all the time, and I know an equal number of very poor golfers who walk. And vice-versa. A lot of it depends on your definition of "hacker" ( a rather defamatory term which I choose to use only on rare and extreme occasions).
