I walked in NC a lot since retiring last 10/31 -- but not so much in Florida or here...I thought I would, but I get most of my rounds through GolfNow -- Hot Deals -- and the low price includes cart. If I am riding with someone I try to walk as much as possible and usually can get 3-4 miles in 18 holes.  Trying to hit 10,000 steps a day and walking a golf course is the best way I know.
 
Ironically, in SC (Upstate) I walked all the time...moved to NC and club required carts most of the time (revenue.)  I gained 30 lbs riding...now trying to walk it off!

Yes...back problems are nothing to sneeze at.  Evidently he cannot get his back to cooperate enough to practice and play -- and that is with the best trainers and medical minds around.  The strain his workouts and 100% swinging put on his back have taken their toll.  Who would have thought that all that working out was bad...but evidently he was doing the wrong things.
 
I don't think we will ever see him be competitive again.  Too much else to do and when these guys cannot compete at the same level, they usually walk away.  Too much pride...
