Genes Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Usually walk whenever I can. 65 years old and use a alphard electric cart. It’s the cats tush. Makes playing 36 a piece of cake. The battery lasts 27-36 holes depends on how hilly. I also have a seat on the cart. Walking makes me play at a slower pace which also helps my game. When it’s in the nineties I ride unless I get out early in the day.

Back in 2020 I bought a new CaddyTek push cart for about $150 and have gotten my moneys worth! This is huge for me . There is no way I could afford a cart even if I wanted to. I alternate between walking with my pencil bag and pushing a cart. Both are enjoyable. I generally push if it’s wet or might rain because my bag doesn’t have legs. I sit all day long at work so the walking is a huge relief for me. More relaxing and if you are with a group, I’ve found it’s also easier to maintain a conversation.

CZOscar Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I’m 80 and my preference is walking with ClickGear 3.5 push cart. Wish I could afford a Stewart Remote but push cart is fine. My problem being able to walk all the time are: Texas Heat 100 deg plus, tournaments with shotgun starts, and partners who insist on riding, and sciatic/back pain flare up. But walking is my preference and I seem to play better. GolfSpy_SHARK 1 Quote A member of local senior golf group that play every week- which is improving my game.

This has caused the trolley to jump a few curbs and tip over more than once. It has become such a hinderance that I went back to either carrying a lightweight stand bag or using my very old (8-10 years at a minimum) and quite worn-out BagBoy push cart.

Golf Dawg Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I prefer to walk whenever possible. It lets me focus on my game, take in more of the scenery, and better enjoy the moment. However, my mid 60, prosthetic filled, arthritic body limits my time. On flatter terrain, I can still handle walking 18 with a push cart. Living in northern IL and now in central PA, the topography limits that to nine these days. I’m respectful and appreciate pace of play, but “microwave golf” is another story. Golf shouldn’t be a sprint or drag race. I’m not sure how it’s enjoyable, but to each their own. I’ll gladly let you play through.

AlbertMeza Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Just wondering if there any walkers left. I recently returned to the joys of walking the course. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the idea of leaving the cart behind and playing in a much more relaxed state of mind. Also, it seems to me that I play better when walking. Anyone else enjoy putting one foot in front of the other when playing?Tried walking for the first time last week after getting a Stitch carry bag for Christmas (great carry bag). I loved walking and carrying. Going to keep trying to walk until it gets too hot in Houston. Going to need to work up the stamina. I was exhausted by hole 13 and my score went with it.

Richard Fahrney Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I’m 72 and walk 6.8 miles 4-5 days a week on a hilly course.

Then 4 years ago I retired, changed my diet and lifestyle, lost 100 pounds and got back on the course. Its been a struggle but things are getting better.

Zatty Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 with the advent of motorized club carriers, I have seen an increase in walkers. mostly older players - 90% of people under 30 ride a cart. I Marshall a muni on weekends. Quote Short game first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skymark Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I’m 40 and just tried a push cart...I’m hooked on walking. calmer, more relaxed, and my low back and hips stay loose and I’m less fatigued after a round somehow. One of our courses is 7.5 miles of walking on 18, but my core isn’t stiff two hours after I play like it often is when riding. I also found that my overall pace of play is the same whether I walk or ride since I can head direct to the ball. Huge bonus during cart path only I want aware until reading the other posts that walking wasn’t allowed some places. I’ll have to be on the look out for that. ejgaudette 1 Quote WITB: Playing MAXFLI TOURX PXG GEN5 0311 driver, Ping 425 LS 3W, Cobra King Tec 3H, Mizuno 932 Hot Metal Pro Irons, Volkey wedges, Odessey white hot 5k putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
