deejaid Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I've noticed on all of the golf course website I visit to book a round, none give the option to walk. They all list the price with cart, but if you want a walking rate you actually have to call to get a tee time. Don't people walk the courses anymore? I live on a course and as I watch groups go by, 90% of men ride, while probably 90% of the women walk. I usually walk with a pull cart (need to upgrade to a push cart one of these days) as I feel I play much better when I walk. I can think about my next shot as I walk to my ball, not driving back and forth between my ball and my cart partners. Are you guys walkers or riders?

silver & black Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I ride 99% of the time. If I'm playing alone (rarely) I like to walk. I use a pull cart when I do. It's rare that I walk because my home course is so crowded and most of the people playing are just very casual players that are just drinking and having a fun day. Walking when it's like that is a recipe for altercations with people, because they think you are slow because you are walking. Quote Link to comment
evershady Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I walk everyday bag strapped to my back. I only use a cart when it is part of the deal. Like Twin Cities Golf events all include cart, or free passes where cart is included. or on the rare occasion my wife wants me home early so I need to speed around. This is my exercise for the week so walking is a big part.

dru_ Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Depends. Normally I walk most of my rounds, but this season, I've ridden what few rounds I've managed to play. Last year I played 92 rounds, and walked 70 of them. This year to date, I've played 40 rounds and walked 12. It was fitness thing, but not in the way you think. I've been training for a big race this year, and an 8 mile walk wasn't on the training plan.

revkev Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I frequently walked (more often than riding for sure) up until the time that I moved to Florida. Frankly I'd either be dead (seriously) or would have to stop playing in the summer if I couldn't ride. I still do walk some in the cooler seasons of the year particularly if I'm playing 9 holes or when I'm coaching my Middle School golf team (I always walk then). Sadly there are any number of very good new courses that don't lend themselves to walking all that well mainly because of real estate developments. My club has a very nice flow 1-8 but then there is a huge gap to get to 9. 13 is almost an island unto itself as are 9,18. I don't ever see myself walking 18 there - I have walked 9 though.

PlaidJacket Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I walk almost all the time. Exceptions are, during the hottest months of summer, When I play "away" courses, or if the course is layed out where walking is unfriendly. I enjoy walking because.... 1) I play better, and 2) it's decent exercise. I use my 10yo Sun Mountain push cart. I do agree that walking seems to be out of favor anymore. Even at my home club a guest fee includes a cart weather you want one or not. There is not discount if you walk. Cart rentals are a major source of income for golf courses. I don't know the numbers but carts are usually leased and by the time they are beat-up and shot new ones come in. I'd say about 1/2 of my normal Saturday group walks.

hckymeyer Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I usually walk one round a year and it's the first one when the course opens but doesn't allow carts yet. I live on the course and have my own cart, so it's just too convenient to hop in the cart and drive up to the course. All my stuff is in there already and if I a few (or more) adult beverages I can still just drive home. Plus I'm lazy and would just rather ride.

L.I. Rich Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm a walker, but as all of you have said, some venues just don't allow it. I think that riding is encouraged because it has to be a money maker for the courses. I know that some layouts and extreme heat make riding nearly true requirement, but carts must pay for themselves several times over in the course of a season.

This is one thing I can't stand. Putting the next tee box 200 yards down a path from the previous green. I'm glad some of you also mentioned the money making aspect of charging for the cart. I hear so many time it said that carts speed up the pace of play when from my experience, it's exactly the opposite. When people walk directly to their own ball and play "ready golf" rounds are played just as quickly, if not quicker than forcing everyone to use carts. revkev, Dave, HardcoreLooper and 1 other 4 Quote WITB: Stan Thompson “Reactionizer” persimmon woods 1-4 Spalding Tour Edition 3-PW Spalding Top-Flite E.V.A.

I hate the required cart rule, and when I get to a course that has this rule, I either have my partner drive and I will walk with my clubs on the cart, or if I am playing solo, I will take the key from the shop, and then just walk anyway.

BIG STU Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I would love to be able to walk more especially on my practice rounds. This year I have had ankle problems again and can't walk and play. Even with my ankle braces on my ankles swell up like balloons even riding. My home course we are able to walk and like others have mentioned a lot of the courses here are set up around housing developments and they will not let you walk. I am still riding my tricycle for exercise around the park I live in and I work around the yard at work.I actually had to turn down a trip to Harbour Town because I did not think I could walk all 18 even with a caddy.

wbealsd Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I usually ride, both because almost everyone I play with does. I'm old enough now, I generally only walk (with a push cart) when the course is fairly open and I'm playing solo. NOBODY I play with these days walks for more than 9 holes, and most of them don't play more than 9 at a time, regardless of whether they cart, or not. I love to play with my friend that introduced me to golf a few years ago, but he NEVER plays more than 9 at a time now, but we do "walk together." We played together twice this year and that's the only time my playing partners walked. Unless I'm pressed for time, I try to play 18 when I play and I have to play the last half solo more every year, when I play with my "old crowd"... One of the reasons I'm moving back to the local Country Club is the guys usually play a full 18, even though they all cart. mbrodeur86, silver & black and Dhuck Whooker 3 Quote What's In the Bag Driver - GBB Hybrids Halo XL Halo 18* & T-Rail 20* Irons T-Rail 2.0 Wedges 60* TS / SCOR 48* 53* 58* Putter Ball Bag Datrek DG Lite Link to comment

Kor.A.Door Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 There are certain times at the club when they allow you to walk, I think it's after 2 or 3 on the weekends, you are not allowed to walk during peak times on the weekends and holidays, during the week you can walk but again I think you can walk before 8, and after 2, but again during the peak hours of operation you are not allowed, if you decide to leave the cart and walk anyway, you won't make it to the first tee.

sp0rtsfan86 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Interesting topic. In NJ it was 20 extra bucks for a cart. I never used a cart, unless I was playing with my dad and uncle. That was exactly twice. More often than not I can keep up with carts. Usually that requires teeing off first, getting set up and waiting parallel to the tee. The second the ball was off the club, I took off. If my ball was in the rough, I would basically not care about where the others golf balls were until I found mine. Around the greens I was fast. I've walked in tournaments before where almost everyone has a medical exception allowing them a cart. I've played 18 in a tournament setting with guys who rode the whole time. Makes for a tougher 18 holes, but makes me a tougher competitor. Now I never walk. Carts are free and I can be about a half hour to full hour faster riding than walking. Plus it's 105 outside and walking is probably on the order of crazy. If I got to a place that charged for carts and was a home course, I'd be walking. Walking allows me to enjoy the course more and also give me a chance to relax you can't while you are in a cart. I can check texts, work on stuff and not have to worry about putting a cart in water.

jbil8802 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I would say that at least half of the members at my club walk most of the time. I'd say there's 1/4 that mostly ride and 1/4 that always ride. There are some killer hills but it's doable. It's a bonus when there's a cart in the group that can get you and/or your bag up a few of them. I prefer walking. I'll prefer it more next year when I'm in better shape. It's also nice to not have to pay the $20 cart fee.

I"m in MN so if I didn't play then I'd cut out 2 months of my golf season Twosome playing 9 in 50 minutes. Two guys and two carts. I challenge any walker to beat that time. I do on a regular basis, as a solo walker if I don't have to wait. I generally expect to walk 9 in about 60-75 minutes, and 18 in about 145-190. At my home course, playing 18 means taking a long walk from 4 to 5 and then again from 13 to 14 that connects the 'old' 9 and the 'new' 9, and the new 9 is a LOT hillier, so it goes slower. I have run the cart paths on closed days a few times. That 'new' 9 has 3x the elevation change of the old 9. That said, it's great cross training, and I play significantly better when I walk. I find the walk between shots helps me relax and let bad shots go. In a cart, I dwell, and I drink ( I know, you are shocked ).
