How does it work with some folks using a cart and others walking?
Thanks for any input you can give me.

On a championship course the average hole is 375 yards and is a par 4. That means you should be able to hit the ball from the tee into the cup in 4 shots. Your foursome should all complete the hole in 12 minutes. I'm a 10 handicap from the blue tees. So an average for me is a drive of 250 yards and then an approach shot of 125 yards onto the green and then two putts, that's 4 shots.
Without any playing experience, and someone who seems to be more interested in walking than playing, does that sound like something you could do with your one adjustable club?
I'm answering your question this way because you asked if anyone would be upset and the answer is yes. I just wanted to show you the errors of your way. I've been playing since 1962 and I have seen a lot of things, but never anyone walking a championship course playing with an adjustable club.
The best recommendation is to do what was suggested above. Take lessons, learn the game, go to 'good golf school' at Colony Rec Center when it's offered once a month. Go to the driving ranges and practice, practice, practice. Play the executive courses for a year, learn your irons and putting. Then when you've learned to hit your woods at the driving range, go out to one of the championship courses and play from the front tees. Set goals for yourself, initially try to break 100, then later 90, and so on.
