It may very well be better for you and it is more enjoyable to walk in my opinion but it is not, nor could it ever be, faster than walking.

If you are allowed to take a cart onto the fairway you can get to your ball at 16 MPH. You walk with a bag and cart at no better than 4 MPH. Even with two people per cart it is faster to ride.

Of course it usually doesn't matter how fast you can get to your ball because you inevitably wait to hit your shot anyway so you might as well walk for the exercise.

I seriously don't think anyone would take a bet and allow me to ride and you to walk. On an open course it would be no contest. You'd lose sight of me by the second hole. But I get your point.
