I much prefer walking, and I can keep up with just about anybody who rides.

My wife bought me a remote controlled cart and now I only walk. This was one of the greatest inventions in the world of golf! I find I play less poorly when I walk. Some day I'll play better!

I like walking better. I used to have an old bag that made it hard on your shoulder to walk, but I recently got a new bag and it is wonderful. I feel like I accomplished something when I finish walking a round, as opposed to when I ride I feel somewhat lazy. I also agree that it helps you plan shots as you walk to your ball.

Walking is good for you. Average courses your are looking at 2 mile hike. Good cross trainer shoes are absolutely needed.

I wish new balance would come out with 991/992 golf sneakers.

I do use the golf cart when I am playing with my boss- because well golf with the boss is about bidniz.

Yeah, a lot of pressure. Rise above it. Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad.
Feel the flow, Happy. It's circular. It's Like a carousel. You get on the horse. It goes up, down and around. Circular. Circle. With the music,the flow. All good things.I...

Walking is the way to go.

I rode today because it was threatening rain and I wanted to be able to get back to the clubhouse if the sky let loose, but almost always walk.

Eyeing the Sun Mountain Speed Carts -- I've got an older Bag Boy pull cart, which is fine, but after trying a buddy's Speed Cart for a few hundred feet the other day, the pull cart sure seems a lot like work.

You're looking at more than 2 miles.

My home course is 6706 yards, which is 3.8 miles. Then you have to add in green to tee distance.

I prefer to walk here in the flat mid-south but when I go home to the mountains I need a cart to survive the ups and downs of the terrain. However, I think if I had a push/pull cart the mountains would be walkable. Also, it's hard to justify paying the cart fees when I am able to walk.

I prefer to walk. I can find my rhythm much easier when I walk. I do ride occasionally. Mainly b/c I know the owner of my local course, and he lets me ride for free. Most of the time, I only ride when I am having a practice round, or if I got a few friends more interested in fun rather than golf.

In my bag:

DRIVER: 905T w/ Fujikura E360 Shaft

Irons: MP 30 w/ Rifle 5.5 Wedges Oil Can 50*, Vokey SM 54* and 58*Putter: C-06

I find that I take more time and concentrate on my swing much more when walking. I leave the carts and the beers for outings.

    • A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already. 
    • Sorry to lose you, thx for letting us know 
    • I have to bow out for the weekend. I was only in for Saturday as it was
    • Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR? 
    • Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
