Can be. We always walk, spending a buck for a push-cart and enjoying the scenery as well as the game.

For those that won't take the time to read the article:

“The results of this study are meant to encourage older adults to spend more time on the golf course and play by walking,”

I considered noting that in my highlights, but decided it would provoke too much blow-back. :laugh:

You need some qualifiers on your Dr's opinion. If you walk, either using a pushcart or carry bag, it is exercise, unless your primary care Dr. doesn't believe walking is a form of exercise. If you ride in a golf cart then he/she may have a point.
