I play better when walking but when hilly I will ride

I try to walk 9 holes when I can. Our course has three 9's, each stretches out to over a 3 mile walk. Factor in the West Coast Florida Heat in my area in Bradenton and it can be a workout. But I generally play much better walking over riding.

I play in a senior league and see guys walking a really dragging around the course, grasping for air and soaking wet. As my pulmonologist you have paid your dues, jump on the cart, don't think about golf, move up to the age apporitate and have fun. I don't have to think about what's going on, drive at a nice easy pace, normally waiting on the walkers, get my numbers and am in position to hit. Again, make life a lot easier on my back and breathing. Have an Artic breeze machine and 32 oz Yeta on the cart for ice water. Helps in the heat. To big to carry on a cart. When younger really loved walking like most on here. But as life takes it's toil, you have to be realistic and smell the roses. I can find a lot of shade on our course and not hold up anyone. Hate to see some of these walkers coming looking like warmed over death. July and August we play under a heat advisory most of the time.

I 100% play better whenever I walk - there's something about the walk that helps me process my next shot and focus up more. Don't get me wrong, I'm very social when I play, but with a cart you have someone else chatting you up as you drive to your ball and/or you have to help them look for theirs (or yours, etc.). I just don't always play with others who want to walk is probably my biggest reason for not walking. Also, the hot/humid summer months here in Illinois make walking less desireable. I'm looking forward to the cooler late summer/fall months when walking comes back onto the radar more.

Yep definitely prefer walking to riding unless it's a mountain or very hilly course. Walking seems to keep my body more in rhythm and grounded for the next shot.

Been walking since 1972 ( I started at 10 years old). Carried until I was 57, but now push. Now at 63, walk the front & ride the back when temps hit 90s.

In answer to the question, I don't notice playing any better or worse whether I am walking or riding. Play about 120 a year and maybe ride about 10-15 times.

Depending on the course. I rather walk then ride.

I prefer to walk when I can. It really depends on the course and who I am playing with. Overall I feel more focused when I am walking and I can think more about my next shot while I am walking.

I definitely prefer walking a course but if it’s extremely hot/humid (heat index over 100 which is occurring more and more each Summer in Mid-Atlantic it seems), then I’ll ride.

I definitely enjoy walking when the opportunity presents itself. I live on a course and we, like many others, have our own carts which is obviously considerably more convenient to get a round of 9 or 18 in. If I play solo and I have the time, definitely like walking! Both are great options, depends on the preference!

Walk 9, ride 18.

At 66 I walk and carry at the public course I normally play at. We have the 1st or 2nd tee time and it is a nice 2 hour 50 minute to 3 hour 30 minute walk depending on number of players in the group. It's a fairly flat course so not a horrible walk in the early morning hours at sunrise.
When I play other public courses around where I live the available times we can get tend to turn the round into 5 hour rounds with nowhere to sit so I ride.
I would prefer to walk but when the rounds are 5 hours, there is a fair amount of waiting to hit shots and having someplace to sit and wait makes it a little more tolerable.

I ride whenever possible. If the heat index is going to be over 95, I will ride. I also play in a league with 100 members, and they require that you ride.

I purchased an MGI zip navigator AT November of 2023, and it just went over 300 miles today.

Honestly depends who I’m playing with.
