I find myself riding less and less these days... getting back into walking. But I usually prefer to drive when I am in a cart. However, when I'm the passenger, I also like to just grab my wedge and putter after I hit my approach shot and walk the rest of the way, so I'm somewhat ambivalent.

Like Eric, I don't like riding with a driver who doesn't have a clue how to properly use a cart. That does drive me nutz.

I often end up taking an extra club or two for my second shot and end up walking most of the hole anyway. For this reason, I like to be the passenger.

That pretty much sums up how I feel. I like to walk as much as possible without slowing the team down. I can usually drive it further than most of the people I hit it with, so I just estimate my remaining yardage and start walking down the hole with 2 or 3 clubs in my hand.

If I'm not driving the cart I'm walking. The ONLY time I can be the passeenger is in a scramble format, and then it takes LOTS of beer!
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

I much prefer to drive. I play once a year with a guy who makes quick, cutting, last minute turns, and if I'm not holding on, I'm out! Drives me nuts! If I'm driving, I usually look for their ball first, and if mine's closer, I'll have them take the cart.

Just heard a story at a course I played...they hosted a scramble, with a group of heavy drinkers. There was a group that was coming down a very steep hill, the driver cut left and the passenger wasn't paying attention and fell out of the cart. He then proceeded to roll and slide down the rest of the hill and suffered a severe case of road rash.

Moral of the story, be careful. End of hijack.

    • Day 89 (29 July 25) - Moved up to the mid-irons in the backyard drills today complete with hard foam balls…focus remains on setup and tempo.   
    • https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/handicapping/world-handicap-system/world-handicap-system-usga-golf-faqs/faqs---calculate-course-handicap-and-playing-handicap.html That's up to you and the league. You can do a percentage, or just do 100%. If they're already salty about a 12.4 becoming a 10… I don't know that docking it to an 8 with 80% will go over all that well. If the higher handicaps are winning way too often, a percentage is often warranted. It affects them more than the low handicappers (22 x .2 = 4.4, 2.2 x .2 = 0.44).
    • Of course, what I also should have asked is "what handicap should be used in a league? The "Course Handicap" or the "Playing Handicap" and if the latter, what allowance should be made for non-elite stroke play competition? (95% of C.H.? 90%? or forget about the playing handicap altogether?
    • I'll keep the rule only if the water is visible above the surface either where the ball is placed or a normal stance would take place. If not, play ball. I took this the same as a divot, just bad luck. Adjust for a saggy/wet lie and hit the ball. (maybe put on your rain clothes before :D) 
    • Day 302 - 2025-07-29 Slowly bridging the gap between the academy and the course. And by "slowly" I mean SLOWLY. Played 18 today.
