If carts create significant wear and tear on the executive courses, then we should try to reduce the wear and tear. The executive courses should provide some incentive for people to walk the courses. In order to encourage walkers, there should be a program that for every 10 rounds that you walk, you get a free play at a Championship course. This would also reduce pollution from carts.
