Pace of Play
Russ is absolutely correct that everything else being equal (open course), the cart golfer can play much faster than the walker. BUT, any walker in reasonable shape who plays "ready golf", who keeps it in play and doesn't take five or six practice swings on every shot will keep up the pace of play and can meet or exceed the estimated times on the scorecards. The first couple times I play a course I love having the convenience of a cart, which allows me to look around corners and over hills that I would be playing blind if I was walking. But once I know the course, I'd much rather walk and enjoy the round.
