I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on walking vs. riding in a golf cart.

4 years ago, as I was planning m6 retirement, I was shopping for remote control carts. I then found out that I had torn ligaments in my left foot that gave way to excruciating pain when I tried to walk downhill. The Drs suggested surgery repair but then I would have 4 months with no weight allowed on my left foot.

I appreciate the feedback! I absolutely feel that golf carts are appropriate and should be available for people who are not physically or medically able to walk the course. Glad to hear that you are still able to enjoy this fine game!

I would say I walk 90% of the time. I enjoy the extra exercise I get during the round. Most of the courses I play here in Chicago are short enough that walking is the best option. The courses in the suburbs are more suited to carts with longer distances between tees. I walk at these longer suburban courses if I'm alone.

Never tried the golfBoard. From golf bikes to actual club toting goats, there are definitely people exploring alternative ways to get around the course!

Walking is what I do most of the time. I love the workout, but most of all, I love that I'm able to maintain my focus. I'm not worried about my cart partner and where he's at. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

My club has three walkable courses and I do not remember the last time I took a cart playing at home. We are fortunate the courses were all designed pre-60s so there is no housing and distance between green and tees are reasonable. When I do play away, I frequently take a cart since I often find myself playing housing development or resort courses.
Why do golf carts work?
Very simply, the use of carts dramatically speeds up play over walking with a pull cart. Those who want the exercise of walking 18 holes can let their playing partner drive while they follow the cart up the fairway. The added speed of completing rounds has even coined the phrase “cart golf,” where partners hit very close to each other and can exit the cart hitting two follow-up shots without pushing the pedal. Besides a shorter round, the cart also can include the added benefits of cup holders, storage and a roof to minimize sun exposure. You can even enjoy your favorite music if you equip your cart with a sound system.
Do you need a license to drive a golf cart?
In some cases, the individual can no longer pass the test for a driver’s license. Because driving a golf cart does not require a license, these people can regain their freedom to go places within their community without imposing themselves on family and friends for transportation. The cost factor is also a benefit when it comes to people now living on a fixed income. Whether you play golf or not, regaining your independence is a significant contributor to an enhanced lifestyle. Go where you want and pay less to get there…what a concept.

How fast can a golf cart go?
First off, the law classifies a golf cart as a vehicle which can travel at a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour. Lawmakers recognize that even at this speed a collision with a full-sized vehicle could be fatal, and in many cities and states there are restrictions against ever driving a golf cart on public roads.
