Allow me to share a quick story regarding my determination to walk. I had a tee time with an upscale, daily fee course one morning and discovered that the policy at the course was mandatory carts before 1:00 pm on weekends. As I prepared to pay for the round, I said that I'll pay the cart fee, but I'd still prefer to walk. Of course, I received the "Deer in the Headlights" look, but he agreed to let me walk. What a great deal for the course! They received additional revenue, and there was less wear 'n tear on their course. I in return had the benefit of walking a good golf course. Paying an extra $10-$15 is worth it for the true golf experience value. By the way, don't give up on that handicap. Let the Dew slide off the Shoe, Glen Philip,

I'm 36 years old and after 200 rounds I realize I'm never going to be much better thean a 25 handicap. I never get the enjoyment of a good score but at least I can say I get good exercise.

Nothing beats a good walk. I always remember what Sir Walter said so long ago, "don't hurry, don't worry, and don't forget to smell the flowers along the way.

Great to read that you have become a walking golfer and purchased your first walkers bag. I know you will enjoy the many benefits of traveling by foot over the fairways - at one with the game as the Scots intended. Please keep us posted on your journeys.

Great work with the site - I really enjoy the articles and member feedback. This evening will be my maiden voyage as a true Walking Golfer. Have had an electric cart for several years, but play in a regular group with some of us walking. The light came on in my head over the weekend and just yesterday purchased my first true walking bag. I am really looking forward to this evening. We have a very challenging old course, with lots of area golf history. It is very much suitable for walkers, which is a good thing! May share my thoughts after a few weeks or months. Great website! Just found the website while searching for information/articles regarding the many benefits of walking while playing a round of golf.
