No Walking Golf Courses

[fitty76]

I'm so sick of this trend in golf. Golf is a sport, not a game. You take the walking out of golf you turn it into a game. There needs to be a walking only course built. Or maybe a course can use a day or two a month just for walkers. It is a really sad trend going on in golf.

I haven't really seen any of these... where is a no walking course. There are some courses here that you'd be crazy to walk... waaaaayyyy to far between holes to walk, but I get your point.

Jesus I just got winded thinking about walking. When I play golf if the ball ends up on top of a ridge i take a drop. Fug that. If the cart can't get there forget it.

Judging by some of the post here, I guess it is.

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport, in which competing players (golfers), using many types of clubs, attempt to hit balls into each hole on a golf course while employing the fewest number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that does not require a standardized playing area. Instead, the game is played on golf "courses,"

Most courses won't let you walk weekend mornings because it's so crowded.

Agree 100%. For various reasons which do NOT involve me being a big time player and do NOT involve be being a bad-ass golfer I belong to 2 private clubs right now. Don't ask it's not impressive.

1 club does not allow carts on the fairways (i.e. except for handicapped players and wtf are you doing playing if you are hurt). The fairways remain immaculate. Moreover the round goes fast if every player goes to their ball and is ready to hit when it is their turn. there are also caddies available which can be extremely helpful or not. But most importantly I almost always play better when I don't have to ride around in the cart. Golf is a thinking game and the vehicle ruins it. A cart has it's place but golf is meant to be played on foot.

Having said all that, it is hard as hell to lug around a 12 pack of coors lite in your walk bag.

i think if i started a public course i would make it walking only with a required forecaddy. i really think you could make it work from an expense standpoint.
