strange to me to see some of you guys put ban riders. here in dallas no body walks. i would say maybe 5%. most days i can go a full round and not see a single walker.
well, if riders are banned, there'll be more walkers?

That was a misquote, meant for the rate per time. Groups stuck behind would be negativity impacted. Not sure why it was tied to your post. Sorry about thatHow so? I'm not following.
Why?Ban walking
Incentive the slow groups to do what?No carts
Charge by the hour, incentivize the slow groups

That and cigarette butts. I'm a smoker but also a former assistant superintendent. Nothing pisses me off more than cigarette butts on a course or sunflower seeds on a green (other than unrepaired ball marks).
You 'll find 10 cigarette butts in my pocket before you'll ever see me throw one down on a golf course.
I can't see how anybody who isn't a completely self-centered prick thinks it's okay to spit sunflower seeds on a green. I don't ash my cigars on greens either - in fact, I usually leave them in the cart when I go to the green.My playing partner is a former asst superintendent, and he says the same thing about sunflower seeds. I chew them every now and then when playing, and he watches me like a hawk to make sure I don’t spit them on greens (which I never do).
Walking during the summer in Phoenix is hardcore, hats off to you my man! I sweat like a pig, and even after 18 holes in a cart during the summer I look like I'm in a wet t-shirt contest and have drank about a gallon of water.I walk during the summer in Phoenix. Now there are some courses that it is impossible to walk because you have to go through 4 city blocks to get to the next tee. If walking was the norm then course design would change.
Is exactly how it is in the UK, really the only people in carts have a blue flag (medical exemption from walking). Having said that, the courses over here tend not to be especially spread out with only short walks from green to tee, and of course the weather is never searing hot!I think walking should be the norm for everyone unless you are handicapped and have a sticker in your car. Game was made to be walked and max group size is 4. Most of golf in the UK still plays by this standard.
Because I get tired of waiting on walkers. And before that argument starts, in my area most courses here have distance from green to tee so walking is in fact slower here. Plus the gym is for exercise, golf is for social enjoyment.Why?

Johnny Miller was underrated as an announcer.
