Of course I was refering to those that were able bodied.
The main reason I gave up Championship courses, was a dodgy knee, and a c****y game.
I still walk Executives, and the only course that gets me, is the last 50yards up to the 9th on Escambia. That creases me!
I think a lot of the reason American golfers use carts, is the tradition of faster play.
In UK walking is the norm, and the only ones using carts are the kids.
The majority of seniors walk until they drop.
They bury them where they fall, except in sand traps, and on greens, then they are buried two club length at the nearest point of relief.
No penalty!
