There's no practical way to walk the majority of Championship courses. Championship golf in TV was designed to be played in carts. A foursome walking most any Championship course, assuming they survive, would be on the course for close to 5 hours. It's simple math, based on the distance from Greens to Tees and between 9's.
I don't have much experience with the Execs, but it seems that eliminating carts completely on those courses, would be the best thing TV could do, to improve conditions, reduce demand and keep residents healthier.
From now on, if I make a post regarding playing or conditions on Championship courses, I'm going to use the word "GOLF", if referring to play on Executive courses, it will be "*golf*". It's just not the same game and comparing them, is like comparing Pickleball to Tennis.

In executive golf you use the same equipment and it's played the same way. In pickle ball the racket is NOT like tennis...the pickle ball is NOT like the tennis ball
Need a new comparison.
