Well, this has been enjoyable and entertaining.

The purpose was to see if anyone else has heard this rule is coming.

I'm pretty sure it's coming.................they are jus giving fair warning to all tri-carts.

The website will be updated when effective.

Can be someone you golf with and is not a friend.

If a friend, may not like their habits, smell, conversation, etc.

Thought that is why we all moved here, LOL

Ride with strangers who smoke.

Maybe a no smoking rule coming next?

Neither of you should be insulting in this forum.

I am over 70 with two replaced knees. I generally play 2+ hours of pickleball each day. I have played as much as 5. A decent percentage of pickleball players here have the tell-tale knee replacement scar or scars. I know players who have had at least one hip replaced also playing two hours per day. Most of these players are quite mobile.

You have shorter course options. If you can't walk the ones that you play now, even without having to carry your bag, maybe it is time to start playing shorter courses.

I have not yet restarted playing golf, but it sure sucked when I did play, to be walking and waiting behind even 2 cart four ball matches. Walking straight to your ball is usually faster than riding to someone else's ball, then your ball.

But more than made up for by riding the distances between greens and the next tee, and in some cases much quicker (Larel to Riley, Osprey to Egret, Stirrup to Tally and others). But since 90% of the time you end up waiting for the "slow" group ahead of you, riding to 2 balls makes no difference whatsoever.

Maybe if they spent as much on caring about the maintenance of the courses as they do about carts, the courses would be in better shape. Played Sweetgum Wednesday, greens are not in very good shape for this time of year and on the par 4, whoever was moving the green, left the mower down as they came off the front of green and scalped the front approach to the green for about ten feet. Its a mess.

We need to come up with a new sport name, that distinguishes between playing an Executive Course and playing Championship courses. Playing a Championship course is generally "playing golf" ... I'm not sure what's going on with Executive courses, but it's not "golf".

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.

I like it-----now if only we could tie playing into handicap like pickleball and softball does with ratings........

Glad I never took up golf. Being looked down upon for learning from the beginning is not my idea of fun.

Is elitism and mocking those who are new taught at advanced training level classes or does it come about naturally after playing a while?

Unless your playing amateur tournament golf which if handicapped making it fair , it really is you against the course.
Don’t pay attention to what others are doing concentrate on your own game .
