The best (and worst) walks in golf.

[tymac]

I just posted in the "do you miss metal spikes" thread and got to thinking about how much I liked walking from the clubhouse to the first tee with the sound on metal spikes ringing off the tarmac/ concrete pathway. Then, since I'm working and my mind has already wandered to the golf course, I was pondering my favo[u]rite walks in golf. Here's a list of some of mine - not in any particular order:
Best
1. Above mentioned walk to the first tee.
2. Walking onto the green without putter in hand to retrieve ball having holed out from off the green.
3. From buddies ball onward to your own having finally out driven him after years of trying.
4. Up the 18th fairway on the Old Course at St. Andrews - if you're lucky enough to get the chance.
5. To lunch when midway through a 36 hole day - if your fit enough for 36 and haven't reeked the place out on your first 18.
6. To a blind green to view your ball in close proximity to flag - especially when buddy told you he thought it was "a nice shot but a bit long."

Worst:
1. Across adjoining fairway to locate hideously sh@^ked shot.
2. Back to tee (alone) to play "three off the tee"
3. To next tee with 3+ groups already waiting to play.

Anyone else?

Best ,walking up any 18th to the green where you have put your approach shot to within 2 feet.The suns shining and the members are on the varanda of the clubhouse applauding.
Worst.Walking up any 18th after you have put your approach shot in the clubhouse!

Best is walking off 18 to win the California HS state championship

Worst is walking off the course after a stupid DQ.

The best for me is out with my son who is 6 and watching him have a blast; helps remind me that golf is a game.

The worst, walking in before 18 because of darkness or weather.

Worst--walking back to the tee to play number 3..Its embarassing

Best -
walking up the fairway with putter in hand
Walking to the tee when you have the honor
walking to the hole to pick up your ball after holing out

worst -
re-teeing and hitting 3 is always the worst time
walking into a hazard/woods to search for a ball - anyones ball, even my own -I hate looking


Golf is the best, I cant wait to tee it up this season!

Best - Walking up to the 18th green with a putter in my hand after hitting that green for my first time ever and seeing my wife walking toward me with my son in her arms.

Worst - Walking around the green to find my ball after blading what should have been a 10 ft chip across the green and off the back of the hill.

the worst walk: the 10 yards up the fairway to the ball you just topped.

the best walk: 310 yards up that same fairway the day after!

[mutadayen]

the best walk: shaking the hand of the person you've set out to beat who first introduced you to the game

the worst walk: finding your topped drive on the opening tee that hasn't gone further than the ladies tee while the starter and the group behind you watch on

[Wisco-Kid]

Best Walk -- to the 18th hole to grab your ball after you just sank a birdie putt to break you lowest score!

Worst Walk -- to the 18th hole to grab your ball after you just missed a birdie putt to break your lowest score.

the worst is hitting your ball and walking 3 yards to hit your next shot. happened to me yesterday, kind of like the way woody austin choked on 18 in the final round on sunday.

Best walk in golf: Leaving the clubhouse to the first tee. I'm always amped to play a round of golf.

Worst walk in golf: Walking near the OB marker and confirming that your ball is indeed, OB.

[The Gill]

The long walk to a group you just hit into.

[Craig Mac]

Best Walk: From the car to the clubhouse.
Worst Walk: From the clubhouse to the car

[larlev]

Best walk...9th back to clubhouse realizing you have 9 more
Worst walk... back and forth across the fairway that you seem to never land in.

Best:
Any long walk with a putter.
Or better yet, have your buddy just pick up your ball because either a) "it's good" and you're playing gimmies or b) it's in the hole.
The walk back to the clubhouse after holing a nice putt on 18 with 20-odd beer drinkers watching.

Worst:
3 off the tee.
Standing too close to the ball - after you've hit it.
Any search in the woods.
