Scraping It Around Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) I prefer to walk whenever I can. I just think it's an overall better experience. Also it gives me a chance to calm down when I do something stupid. I say whenever I can because some courses just aren't conducive to it. There are a couple around me where the distance from a green to the next tee take minutes to drive, let alone walk.

Nassau Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Always walked until a favorite course had such a great deal of $5 cart but back to walking due to the pandemic, safer and healthier and better exercise and enjoyment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonPardo Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Before covid... rarely. Since... I walk every round. I'm not a fan of using a push cart, but it does make it easier to bring a cooler of beer!

MayorTito Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 The group I play with regularly just started walking in the past month. We’d been talking about it for a year because when Covid hit our courses we’re open but no carts. Of course, the 1st few courses we played were not the friendliest courses to walk, let alone carry your bag. So, in the past month we’ve all invested in push carts and we won’t be turning back. Camaraderie is better. Don’t feel like your rushing around the course. Experience is more enjoyable. We love it! 1 1 Quote Cobra F9 9 degree -1 Hazardous Smoke Stiff Cobra Speedzone 3 Wood Tensei Blue Stiff Cobra F9 3 Hybrid Atmos Stiff Wilson C300 4-PW,GW Wilson FG Tour 56* Wilson FG Tour Raw 60* Cleveland Frontline Cero Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFree Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I love-love-love to walk, listen to the birds, feeling the breezes, enjoying the beauty of the course and feeling my feet engaging the earth. Never carry clubs, can be too hard on the back and neck. Only ride when it’s mandatory. I use a pull cart and was delighted to find that a tremendous amount of calories are burned when pulling a cart, up to 300 per hour for a 130 lb person, and for a 190 lb man it’s 431 calories per hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaDawg Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I walked this morning and walked almost every round since last April. I may start riding some rounds for the next 6 weeks due to the heat and humidity here in Georgia. Last July and August I was unable to play due to a medical issue so the humidity was not an issue. 2 Quote Driver: Stealth Plus - 10.5*, Oban Kiyoshi Purple O4Flex-65 Grams Purred 3 Wood: SIM - 15*, Graphite Design Tour AD DJ5 Stiff Hybrid: TS3 - 19*, Hzrdus Smoke 6.0 Stiff Irons: 7 - PW T100S, 4 -6 T200 all with Nippon NS Pro 880 AMC Chrome Stiff Irons: 4 - PW King Forged Tec with Aerotech Steelfiber I95 Stiff Wedges: Vokey SM 8 - 50*, 56*, 60* Standard Wedge Shafts Putter: Phantom X 5.5 Putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5 Ball: Pro V1 or Maxfli Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked yesterday, and the heat really affected me on the back 9. I might be walking 9, and riding 9 for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehuti Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I walk my local 9 and executive 18 courses if my plantar fasciitis is not acting up.

SD1199 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I prefer to walk and walk majority off rounds. If I am playing with group where everyone is riding then I will Ride. Usually playing with co-workers or rounds with occasional friend where it is more social I will ride. Most rounds i play as a single and join a group, I almost always walk in this case.

YamYam Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Never really understood why anyone would want to get out of their car on the car park, put their golf bag on another car and then drive for another four or five miles, then put your clubs in your own car again and drive home. Sure I've used a buggy once or twice but only when I've had some acute wrong with me and I couldn't cancel playing for fear of letting someone else down. I much prefer to walk the course. It allows me to get a much better feel and perspective of where I'm playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismsd Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yes, I endeavor to walk whenever I can. Even purchased a MotoCaddy M7 remote to take the bag off my back. Play better and enjoy the walk. Thanks. Quote Love my EVNRoll. Callaway driver and three metal. Titleist hybrids. Cobra iron. Titleist wedges. You know the putter.

ParForeSawgrass Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Walk with my 13 year old son almost once a week. Hoof it or push cart it and always good exercise and play better as I’m more focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrossx3 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yep, have a robot and prefer to walk Quote Three, Albatross' Three Holes in One Plus, when I was 5 the first ball I ever hit on a golf course went in the hole, so I have that going for me. My bag is a mish mash of Srixon drivers, cobra and adams fairways, TA1 irons and Hopkins wedges, plus a Cure putter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcosta Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Walk. Play better, feel better. If you physically can do it, walk! Use a push/pull cart as not put too much wear & tear on your shoulders & back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeRightAgain Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Never walk. Was a caddy as teenager, I walked the course then because it was my job, Now if I am on the golf course it is to enjoy myself, not work. So no walking for me, unless I'm on a course that demands it, and in that case better be a top notch course Quote Driver: Cobra F6 3W: Titleist TSi3 5W: TM RocketBallz -(my favorite club) Hybrids: Cleveland 2-4 Irons: Callaway Apex DCB 4-PW Wedges: Titleist Vokey SMB 52 & 56 Putter: TM Rossa Monte Carlo Mallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcape Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I walk whenever I can. I no longer carry the bag but use a push cart which saves the shoulders and has a few storage spots. walking helps me to stay settled from shot to shot, no rush to to hit the next shot.

Craig321 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I do in the cooler months when the course is cart path only. And as long as the players in front of as well as behind us follow the rules and stay on the cart path, our group never has a problem keeping up with group in front of us and not being pushed by the group behind us. I am 69 and do enjoy walking but do not handle the heat well so do not walk in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
