I am rocking a pair of New Balance softspikes currently right now as well. I also tend to get a bit aggressive with the feet as well so I do like the feedback of a bit of slippage if I really go too hard, still takes a lot in the New Balances. 1 Quote Follow My Super Speed Progress Here Cobra Speedzone Extreme 9° Mitshubishi Tensei AV Blue 65 Stiff Flex '07 Burner 15° Reax 50 Stiff Flex 816 H1 18° Fujikura Speeder HB 8.8 Stiff Flex 816 H1 21° Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 70 Stiff Flex I500 5 - UW Red Dot Dynamic Gold S300 Equalizer 52° (at 54°)/ 56° (at 58°) KBS Tour V 110 Stiff Flex Cleveland SOFT 11S Super Stroke Mid-Slim 2.0 Hoofer Bag Right Handed Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Tom the Golf Nut 2,784 Posted December 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2020 I broke my back sking in my late 20's. They wanted to fuse my lower spine or I could try to live with it for as long as I can. I decided against the surgery. I can't carry a bag for a full round. I live and play mountain courses. Trying to push or drag a cart up hill is difficult with my back. "I ride most of the time". Based on my current handicap of 1.6 there isn't much side to side. I play 18 holes in 2-1/4 hours so pace of play isn't an issue either.

CarlH 4,825 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'm a rider for the last few years. Used to walk most of the time. 2 total knee replacements, 3 disks fused in my neck, big toe on my left foot fused results in a bad callous on the ball of my foot, neuropathy in my left foot, and edema in my left leg. Walking isn't fun anymore. I ride because I want to enjoy the game, not torture my ailing body. I'm a serious golfer. I'm not a slow player. And, I'm certainly not an idiot.

BrownBearGolf 288 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Carts are also good in the 105+ degree heat. They keep a breeze when you drive and if you soak your sleeves and neck periodically that breeze helps. The cart also provides shade and keeps a true cooler with ice and the gallon of water I need and my Gatorade cold and my wet towels cold. I walk in the winter season here in Phoenix. However some of the courses in the outlying suburbs have literally half a mile to 3/4 miles between the hole. So if it is that type of course or higher than 100 degrees I ride. But prefer to walk when I can and when it’s not dangerous to do so. 5 Quote Epic Flash Sub Zero 9degree. Hosel set to -1degree/Nuetral.

TBT 2,369 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Nobody really walks here, there are a scattered few but they are few and far between. It’s really too hot during the summer months and then you add the fact that the majority of the courses just aren’t really set up for walking.My club has two 18 hole courses both are true “ out and back” courses...when you leave the clubhouse you don’t return until the 18th hole and there are no “halfway houses” since both courses route through a subdivision there are several very long distances from one green to the next tee box.I wish more people walked here but unfortunately it just doesn’t happen Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Quote King F7+ UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 6F4 Shaft King F7 3W UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 7F4 Shaft King F7 5W UST Mamiya Chrome Elements 7F4 Shaft King F7 4 Hybrid Graphite Designs Tour AD-HY 95 Shaft King F7 5 Hybrid Graphite Designs Tour AD-HY 95 Shaft King F7 6-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 Shafts King PuR Wedges 50*,54*,58* UST Mamiya Recoil 95 Shafts Metal X Milled #7 with SuperStroke 3.0 grip Arccos Generation 1 Sensors on all clubs Snell MTB Twitter: @timldotson Instagram: timldotson Facebook: TimDotson Link to post Share on other sites
chisag 11,840 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 ... First time I played Tierra Rejada in Los Angeles I told the guy I wanted to walk and he smiled and said "No, you don't". I explained I had a remote cart and didn't mind a little extra distance between tees if it was reasonable. He said "I will make you a deal. Take a cart for the first 9 and if you think you could have walked, I will comp your next 18." Those of you that have played there know it really isn't walkable. Up and down a few mountains with spectacular views but not walkable for all but the fittest zealot that would be worn out after 9 let alone 18. Some courses you just have to take a cart.

A lot of the courses dont do any discount for walking either which is a bummer. 1 Quote Driver- 2016 M2 12* Tensei Red Stiff Wood(s)- G400 5 Wood 16.9*/ 7 Wood 21.1* Alta CB Stiff Irons- JPX 900 Forged 6-GW NS Pro 950GH Wedges- RTX 3 54* 588 RTX 2.0 58* RTX 4 64* Putter- Spider Tour Black Instagram- @patrickleeleep Link to post Share on other sites
JalanK 21 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I needed a cart for most of the 2017 - 18 seasons due to bad hips. Prior to that, most of my golf was played while walking. In 2019 I began walking, again. I think I used a cart a half-dozen times in 2020. I prefer to walk, too. However, I no longer carry my bag, unless it's a 9 hole executive course. Otherwise, It's a push cart for me. Walking keeps me in better shape, gives me the exercise I need, and actually makes rounds more enjoyable. I joined an 'old man's league' at my home course this year. The other three guys are walkers, as well. We're all over 65. Two of my group are in their 70s. We manage to complete our rounds in under pace of play, which is 4:15. Edited December 29, 2020 by JalanK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have completely reversed my position on music while playing. Since I play a lot as a single with 3 guys in carts while I walk, I enjoy having music on my JBL Clip attached to my bag. That said, I keep the volume low as I still love the sounds of nature as well as hearing my playing pards. From about 10 yards away you can't hear my speaker at all, although sometimes my pards ask me to turn up the volume, which I will to a reasonable level so WE can hear but nobody more than 25 yards away from us. .. Like many things in life, the few can destroy it for the many. Blaring music from a golf cart can be so annoying especially if it is music you don't like. As stated ad nauseam, these are usually the same a$$hats that drive their carts right next to greens and tee boxes saving themselves a few steps but causing potential damage to both areas. One player I was paired up with shouted at some a$$hats with their carts on the greens fringe to turn down the music and got 2 middle fingers from the drunken 4some. I always ask my pards if they would prefer no music and only once in about 100 rounds has someone said they would prefer I turn it off, which I gladly did. 3 1 Quote Driver: TaylorMade SIM Max ...
