After reading the last 23 pages ( about half an hour I want back) I am going to add my $0.02..

Ok, I usually ride. I am a member, so it is $15 to ride 18 holes. Not too shabby, while its 100001432432 degrees outside.

After reading this thread, I went and got a older bag out of my attic, with backpack straps, and am going out to play 18 holes of WALKING golf tomorrow morning around 8-830. Walking is totally free at Quail, and I figure I can handle it. Hey, I am only 17 right?

As a funny story from today, this is another reason I carry over riding:
Crouching under this kept me and my clubs dryer during a 10 minute downpour than any cart would have :P

I was hesitant to post in this thread but have read most of it. I tend to ride a cart and the reason being, I normally could only afford to play golf in the summer time in Phoneix and its normally over 100 degrees no matter how early you play. Do I get some sort of bye? I'm thinking of at least getting a push cart so I don't feel like i'm somehow cheating myself of the real experience but i dunno if i'll last 18 holes carrying a bag around when its 105 out and climbing.

You assume that riders don't carry umbrellas? I do. I also carry a rain suit. Also with the cart I can race to a shelter in a matter of a couple of minutes. I don't think you have any advantage over me in that respect at all.

I walk all the time, but I'd much rather be in a cart when:

Lightning is coming.
It rains really hard.
I left club behind.
Left something important in the car.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end. 
    • OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
    • Option #2 because I'd add the condition that it's in a tournament. Because that'd mean I'd break par in a tournament. And I already have a hole in one.
    • Hole in one is nice, but those low rounds stick in my memory better. I have two holes in one (and a third on a pitch and putt course which I count as a half). I've shot in the 60s three times in the last 10 years or so and I remember each one pretty well. I'd take the low round.
    • Would You Rather #68: Would you rather make a hole-in-one on a perfectly struck shot, during a round where you otherwise played pretty poorly.  or  Would you rather play well all day and beat your personal best by let's say 3 strokes, but with no eagles.    I'd take option 2.   Although option 1 is always exciting, and rewarding. playing well all day is very exciting because I can also do the opposite.
