Just a couple of reasons off the top of my head that you want golfers on a golf course.
jistjim, I agree will all you have said and I am just having some fun discussing the hypothetical. To be clear in my hypothetical, the people walking along need to stay part of a golf group in their position on the course whether that group is a twosome or foursome and they should understand golf etiquette (***). IMO, if I have a club and more than 2 balls in my pants than I am a golfer.

If I decide that I will only putt on two greens all day and walk as part of the group the other holes, my hypothetical is that I have the same right to that tee time as the any resident even if play every hole...

*** - this may disqualify many of the folks already out there
