Does anyone walk anymore?


Recommended Posts

I would love to walk when I play - but for me it's time constraints.  I can hit the course near my house after work, play 18 (riding), then go home and still have enough daylight to mow grass, get some work done in the shop, house etc. Just the other day I played 18 in less than 3 hours. Went home mowed the front yard and did some more yard work (we have 4 mainly wooded acres so lots of work to keep it up).

I just started playing after a 15+ year hiatus. Back when I started playing I would walk with the old guys at my course (usually teeing off in the first or second group off), then walk another 18 after. I always shot my best scores that 2nd trip. I always figured it was because I was bit tired and didn't try to over swing, but man I learned a lot walking / talking / playing with that early morning group, and not just about golf.

I also feel like I play better when I walk. I think I just get in more of a groove walking. I like to carry my bag, but I also use a clicgear from time to time, it just depends on how sloping the course is. If the course has lots of hills, I will elect to carry. I love to walk because I get to see more of the intentional design of the course, but I also like to walk if there are people in front of me. I play pretty fast, especially in a cart, so walking gives me the chance to slow down and go at my own pace if I need to, so I'm not waiting 5 minutes behind the ball.

I walk after work, when it cools down

I have been riding lately because of the heat

I specifically bought my golf bag (PING Hoofer) so I can walk

I do enjoy walking but on the weekends the course gets crowded and I always ride

In FL there are just so many barriers to walking it really bothers me.  Most courses when I reach out do not let you walk till after a certain point in the afternoon.  On top of that, when they do let me walk, I often get charged the same rate as if I took a cart. 

One course my dad was a member at, decided to ban push carts.  Which at the time,  only him and 1 other member walked with a push cart.  This happened maybe 10 years ago, not sure if they still have that ban but he is no longer a member there.  

 

Wow, where in Florida?  Both private clubs that I play at are dirt cheap when you walk and there are not restrictions other than the normal restriction that you must maintain pace of play - I've never had an issue with that at either course walking or riding.  The local muni allows walking at any time as well and it is cheaper to walk there too. 

 

It's just too hot this time of year - I will walk the local par 3 course in the summer but there's no way I'm doing 18 on a regular course in 105 plus heat index weather. 

I just purchased a closeout bag boy 9.0 from Second Swing golf.  Exited to have that for when I start hoofing again in October. 

 

And @Chisag - you are correct of course, I was over generalizing - there are exceptions either way when it comes to walking or riding - I was thinking far more generally.  Most of us should be prepared to play our best golf either way and not use it as an excuse either way.

Hey guys looking for suggestions of shoes that all y'all walkers wear that are spiked. In need was doing okay in my DNA until last round when I was feeling it in my toes from the hills and they started to fall apart. Eccos are out as my spikeless killed my feet a few weeks ago.

I love my Sketchers GoGolf spikeless. Just did 18 this morning and my feet feel great. I've had multiple Footjoy styles and they are all great. Currently own a pair of Lites and SL.

I'm a big guy and have lots of torque in my swing even when swinging softly I have not had good luck with spikeless I seem to slip too much and I feel that in the back and it kills my distance.

Haven't tried them myself since my feet are on the wide side so I am in New Balance, but Nike seems to have a number of spiked shoes that have a running shoe look to them and are likely to be comfortable for walking.

I'm 6'1" 300 with a similar swing speed in my Ecco spikeless I would occasionally get my  back leg slipping. I don't know if it's from all the years of hockey that I slip because it's instincts when shooting but that's my problem with spikeless unless others have way better traction than the Ecco.

Playing this past weekend walking was must to be able to warm up. It was near freezing to start so the walking really kept me from being too cold.

I'm just about the same size.  I'll slip in spikeless shoes when it's wet, maybe once a round.  But I have yet to find a pair of spiked shoes that don't give me blisters when I walk, so I put up with it.  I'm thinking about trying the Inesis shoes thanks to the MGS rankings.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Inesis, even outside MGS.

I should also mention here that I have a pair of Adidas Tour360. They are mt most expensive and also most uncomfortable shoes. I get blisters on my ankles everytime I walk 18 in them. There really good shoes so I hate to get rid of them, so I only wear them when I ride.

I have an older pair of Adidas shoes, and I have the same issue.  I can't bear to part with them, but I can't walk 18 in them either.

Finally a "cool" enough day to walk - we've been well above 100 heat index since mid-June.  Sunday it was only in the mid-80's, relatively dry and quite windy.  First walking round with my bagboy and also my new sketchers - between the wind, closed range, wet and new irons (although that's a lame excuse because they were hardly the main culprit - wild driving and thick rough got me) I didn't play well - but walking always makes it worth playing - I absolutely love to walk when I play - I may have to ride a few more times as we typically don't have the weather we are having right now until mid-October.

Someone recently gave me a Visa gift card for performing a service for them.  I think a second pair of sketchers is in order so that I don't wear these out too quickly.

Walk two rounds every weekend. My club's caddie program is on hiatus, so we've allowed pushcarts and surprisingly, to the dismay of the Northeast golf "purists" at the club, the course has not slid into the Hudson! Seriously, I think that allowing the carts is here to stay and adds to the enjoyment of the game as well as general fitness. I'm 62, 5'11" and a 240 lb. gym rat; being able to walk whenever I want has been great.

Oh, and for what it's worth, I recently purchased a pair of New Balance Striker spiked shoes and they may be the best combination of performance and comfort I've ever had.

Do you wear support insoles?

Most shoes are designed to slip your own insoles into.

They do not have to be custom orthotics; there are lots of options for $20 - $50; there are some made for runners, some for walkers, some for high/low arches, etc etc etc.

Good insoles can improve almost any sneaker or shoe!

I’m going to get myself a stand bag and start walking.

My thought process is that I will hit more accurate shots... that way I don’t have to walk all over the place.  It might prevent me from “going for it” on a few holes... or probably not.  But I need More some exercise in my life.

... While it is your life and your body to do with as you choose, in the words of Demi Moore from a Few Good Men I would strenuously advise you to at least consider using a push cart. You will still get plenty of exercise but much less strain on your back which is better for the last several holes as well as saving you a co-pay from your Ortho visit. 🤪

I walk 95% of my rounds and I picked up the E-Wheels V2 a month ago and have been using that a lot. Today I went to the range to practice, but a couple of guys I normally play with were there and they were going to play. I had left my cart at home so I decided I would carry. I haven't carried in probably four or five years because of back and shoulder issues. But apparently carrying suits me well because I shot 34 with three birdies. Considering it was 46° in 20 plus mile an hour winds I was pretty happy with that. I don't like picking up and setting down the bag as that is a bit rough on my body, but I did enjoy the round. So maybe I'll actually carry every so often next season.

Haha.  Good call!  I’ll think about it.  I have a funny story about push carts from when I was a cart boy back in the day... I’ll put it in the random thread or something. Haha

Support no the slippage I get is typically my back leg slids out just around impact if I use spikeless shoes.

I walk nearly all of my rounds with a pushcart. Usually I do this when I play as a single and until this year it wasn't a problem but with more crowed courses and everyone riding in their own cart I have found it really difficult to keep from rushing when being the only one in the group when walking,  I've started leaving my cart at home unless I'm playing the local 9 hole course, which I can usually get out on alone.

Hey guys looking for suggestions of shoes that all y'all walkers wear that are spiked. In need was doing okay in my DNA until last round when I was feeling it in my toes from the hills and they started to fall apart. Eccos are out as my spikeless killed my feet a few weeks ago.

Late to the party here, chiming in anyway.

I've gone back and forth a couple times in recent years, but I've gone back to spikeless, and back to True Linkswear shoes.  I'm not exactly a small guy, 5'11" to 6' tall, currently 225 lbs.  The True Linkswears don't have all the cushioning you might find in some, but I find them more comfortable.  I've got a pair of Skechers Go Golf spikeless, didn't find them all that great.

I originally switched to Trues around 2012,  at 30 lbs heavier, I'd worried about them not being comfortable enough with the lack of cushioning seen in other shoes.  Turned out to be needless worry, they've been awesome since day one.

As for slipping, I've slipped in softspikes as well.  My take, if I'm slipping in my swing, I'm overswinging.  I know a lot about overswinging, LOL.

For softspike shoes, I have a couple pairs of New Balance.  They're quite good, and comfortable, I'd recommend them.  I only switched away from them because I chose to again move away from spikes.
