It frequently happens than one couple in a foursome is using a golf cart, and the other two are walking and using pull carts to carry their clubs. Golf carts must stay pretty much on the cart paths, where as walkers can go directly in a straight line from place to place. Ends up the distance from green to the next tee box is shorter for walkers. Those driving a cart have to walk from the green to the path where they left their cart, get in, drive along the path to the area adjacent to the next tee box, get out, and walk over to the actual tee off area. By that time the walkers are usually already there.
