DSP210 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I walked >50 rounds last year. Best buy that I have made was automation for my push cart. It just leaves me walking with my thoughts! drrlramsey, pjaxx88 and cksurfdude 3 Quote Driver: Callaway Speed Irons: Mizuno 923 Hot Metal Putter: Mizuno M Craft VI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I’m switching over to the Summerfield location. I like to play all over but, my go to courses are Wildwood, Eastmoreland, Glendoveer, and of course Claremont which is literally 3 minutes from my front door. Chehelam Glenn is a tough walk. I purchased the Alphard Club Booster V2 from someone right on here. Where do you play? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Usually play Langdon Farms, My wife likes King City. Summerfield gave her and her a hard time so we don't go there. Charbonneau is more than likely the other course. Easy walk decent shape inexpensive. I have a friend that just bought one of those, Was hoping for other opinions/options.

Tincuptim Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Rider here. Two fake knees and the Arizona heat make it tough when playing 5 days a week. Wish I could walk and try to do a bunch during the round but to be honest I consider that riding. Numerous courses here have a large distance between green and teen that make it difficult as well.

I understand completely! I used to walk 18 once a week at my course with a few buddies, but they quit playing when the reach 80 years old. I'm almost 76 with one fake knee and they tell me I will need another one soon. My wife and I ride most of the time and walk 9 holes occasionally; she also has a fake knee and back fusion. I have made a decision this year to walk as much as I can, but I need to get in better physical shape. I'm not sure how much I will be walking in the summer as it can be almost as hot here as in AZ. sirchunksalot, GolfSpy SAM, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDel90 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I live in South Florida. Summers get almost unbearably hot and humid and rates are cheap so I ride then for the extra shade. Winter months rates get ridiculous. For example my home course fee triples from $30 summer riding to $90 in the winter. (Some of the other courses I like to play hits $130 ish). Walking my home track knocks it down to a more tolerable $65. Can’t beat that for a winter rate. With the better weather walking is nice in winter.

Manny Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I play all over, mostly at Three Rivers in Kelso built on the ash from St Helens Mint Valley TriMountain Camas Meadows The Reserve, Forest Hills, Eastmoreland, Stone Creek, you get the point I also recommend Elk Ridge in Carson, extremly dry, beautiful course with some views of the Columbia River and not crowded, also Backwoods Brewery is just around the corner for that after round beer and good food May see you out sometime. drrlramsey 1 Quote I Play in SW WA and in the PDX area I like to walk, I have a Clicgear with all the accoutrements and I am considering getting a V2.

Rodney Russell Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Yes, I walk push cart whenever I can, depending on the weather, great exercise. Bang60 and cksurfdude 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrRob1963 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I am a confirmed walker. I have a good set-up, with a battery-powered, remote controlled MGI ZIP Navigator that gets me around easily - even 36 holes between charges. I find walking helps keep me fit, and also gives me good "thinking time" as I walk to my next shot. Cheaper than a cart, but I'd walk rather than ride any day!

sporter Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I walk most of the rounds I play unless they are tournaments, and I can't. I enjoy walking more than riding on most courses. I have a tricked out Clicgear pushcart with the Alphard V2 power unit that makes walking even more enjoyable, if you're a walker, I highly recommend it. cksurfdude and Gopokes14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopokes14 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I have a 1 year old Cart tek electric remote walking cart. Before that I had the original Alphard add on wheels (ewheels) to my clicgear model 8 four wheel cart. My wife took the clicgear over and I use the Cart tek. We walk about once a week, usually on Saturday because its already slow and most of our group walks as well. I will tell you 2 things, 1.) We are not slower than any riding group that has to go to each players' ball and get yardages etc.. 2.) Walking with a remote cart is much easier than pushing a cart. By 13-14, most of the people that are pushing carts are showing signs of fatigue. We have everything you typically see on a riding cart. Garmin yardage watches for distances and keeping score makes it easy. Music on a bluetooth speaker (UE-Boom) mounted (bushwacker strap) to the neck of the cart. Phone is on a mount in the center of my cart handle. Cooler underneath for drinks etc... Cart folds up and fits on a trunk or in our case back of my truck. 5 miles of walking is good for my health since I had bypass surgery a few years ago. If it's too cold or windy (Oklahoma) or even if it's 100 degrees (Oklahoma), we won't walk. I am responsible for our club now having at least 10 walkers that have gotten remote carts for themselves.

Usually there is a release switch located on each drive wheel where you can disengage the rear wheel from the drive sprocket. Pull the lever slide the wheel out a little bit and push the lever back down. At least my Motocaddy works this way. They actually say not to try to push it while engaged. sirchunksalot, cnosil, cksurfdude and 2 others 5 Quote Driver, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Tour UST Recoil 95 R Flex (6 - Gap) Wedges, Snakebite KBS Hi- Rev2.0 54* & 60* Agera 35" Ultralight 14-way Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I recommend both. I have both on my Clicgear and could not imagine the V2 without the front wheel conversion. Is maneuvers so well. Besides the cart, the V2 wheel conversion was the best money I have spent.

cksurfdude Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Really encouraging to see the large number of walkers!! I've posted previously on this thread and obviously also much prefer to walk the course .. for all the great reasons mentioned by many others... But, like others, when riding carts are required such as when traveling to a resort course or playing in a charity tourney then yeah I'll ride. Do find it divides my attention, though .. like to focus on my own game and have the thinking time in-between shots... @cnosil mentioned earlier about some underlying conflict between walkers vs riders... ..imho one of the main things is the unending pace of play discussion; that is .. in general .. riders think that walkers slow up the course while walkers think that riders slow up the course ...
