I will walk in the spring, on a couple diff courses...its too hot in Texas during the summer to walk and most of the courses I play are so spread out it wouldn't be much fun. The two courses I walk are muni grandpa courses

its too hot in Miami to walk most of the time...in the winter I often walk on the nice days. Come summer time, all carts for me.

Usually smuggle a 12 pack in the bag... So a cart helps...


May invest in a pull cart for the local courses...

I always chuckle when people say they walk the course for exercise. If that's your idea of exercise you are out of shape.

I always get a cart, never ever walk.

If I ran a golf course (that tends to get crowded), I'd allow walker's, but it would cost an extra 20$ a round to do so.

Depends on the course. Flat easy muni-type courses, I walk. Very hilly courses, I ride. Some of the courses up in the foothills around LA are mountainous (Anaheim Hills, e.g.). And some courses have a mandatory cart rule.

This is one of the reasons for my move back to Vegas............ one can walk a course 12 months a year there, .......unlike Iowa, Buffalo, or Florida.

Your post brings back a memory of when the great Jack Nicklaus played a very hilly 2nd. or 3 rd. tier golf course in Portland called Mt. Scott. He ended up walking off halfway through his round with a comment " I'm no Billygoat ". I think the course was actually called " Top of Scott Golf course ". I played it many times when I lived in nearby Happy Valley, Oregon. You reaaly didn't want to walk it if you had a heart condition.:lolBIG:
