[Dirigo]

On my home course I haven't taken a cart for years. They are free on the final day of the Men's League, but that is because they need everyone back ASAP for the banquet. I do rent one when I take my grandson because he is small for his age (8) and has little legs, but that is not as often as I'd like.

When I am playing away from my home course I usually do take a cart, but that is because the courses are hilly and there are long distances between some holes (Sugarloaf and Sunday River).

And if the cart is included in the entry fee for a tournament, I will ride. But other than that, I prefer walking. Gives one time between shots to talk to partners and look a scenery. And think about the next shot.

I use a Sun Mountain Speed Cart. What do other walkers use?

And yes, walking is as fast or faster than taking a cart. And it is better for you.
