Think While You Walk

photo credit: foxypar4 Walking 18 holes is not as popular as it once was especially when most courses encourage the use of carts to speed play. Walking is the way the game was meant to be played for some very important reasons so let’s go over some of them.
Walking lets you “feel” the lay of the land and allows you to better understand turf condition (hard, soft, wet etc.). It gives you a better sense of weather conditions especially in wind. It keeps you relaxed mentally and physically. It slows things down and gives you plenty of time to think about the strategy for your next shot.
The PGA Tour does not allow carts in their tournament events, now you know some of the reasons!
