Cart golf is usually just DUI.

Ridiculous comment if you really believe it.

Where I play you have to ride. I try to hit it down the fairway, and then on or close to the green. Cuts down on the exercise. All that walking around looking for balls in the rough or fescue and climbing in and out of bunkers tires me out.

Most of the nicer courses and almost all of the private clubs around here require carts as well. It is about pace of play.

Our course requires a cart during the day on the back nine only until after 3:00. I ride the whole course.

The semi-private club I belong to was built in an old quarry. Lots of elevation changes and long walks between holes. You'd have six hour rounds and probably a bunch of broken ankles. Cool course, but just not walking friendly.

Yeah in FL (in our area) it is a requirement due to the amount of play that the nicer courses get. Both private and public. I love the game and love being out there. But all day rounds are not fun for me.

Be honest JB. Three-hour rounds are no fun for you!

Now that is a discussion for another thread and I can tell you there will be lots of strong feelings about that statement. Just my personal experience has 4 walkers outpacing 4 cart riders in 2 carts at least half the time. Many times I have had to wait on cart riders while I was walking.

You are right about it being a thread. However your theory would NEVER happen at my course or most of the courses around here. In theory, yes 4 walkers all walking to their balls could go in some cases faster due to carts having to go to two balls. However that only works with courses where there is not a long walk to the next hole or in cases where cart players play cart golf.

I have played lots of courses in lots of places and walked. Now I will tell you there are courses here that won't let you walk and courses that are designed to almost eliminate walking. If I had my way, no one would play them and the designers would have to go out of business. Golf is a walking game unless you simply cannot do it. I am not opposed to carts, just opposed to being forced into one. That is simply poor design.

That is a contradictory statement.
