I used to walk all the time. People at my club used to jokingly ask me if I knew how to drive a golf cart. However, age and arthritis caught up with me. I was able to walk 18 this Spring while golf carts were banned on our course. The cool weather really helped, but often playing two days in a row was a struggle. Carts are now allowed. My plan is to at least walk the front nine, but ride the back if it's hot or my knees are hurting. Our back nine has a couple of steep hills towards the end. Sometimes if I walk I'm so exhausted I don't play them very well. All that being said I still think golf is better when one walks.

That's because we old timers are cheap frugal. 😉

push cart with good umbrella for rain and sun is my ideal. stay drier on "cart path only" rainy days and stay cooler under constant shade/UV protection on hot/sunny days. nice to have freedom as a sin

Don't rule out the alternative:  A push cart.  The best of both worlds.

      Selling Golf Clubs

      By Elmer · Posted

      I  no longer spend the time and effort trying to sell something I no longer need. Instead, if the clubs are in good condition, I go to my local golf shop or even Dicks Sporting Goods. Trade the clubs in for store credit and pick up something I need, like a hat. Cause you always need another golf hat!

      I really enjoyed this episode with Nick from Callaway. I didn't know the problem with swing weight and female golfers, but it makes sense. I actually think swing weight might not matter that much. If everyone senses the club differently, then wouldn't it mean that people might feel swing weights differently? Swing weight is a way to classify how heavy a club feels during the swing. Yet for a 70-year-old golfer, a D0 might feel like a D4 for a 25-year-old golfer? I think stronger people would consider higher swing weights lighter. Maybe a C8 equals a D2 in terms of feel?
