Should We Walk or Ride
Most of us when playing golf are riding in carts. But should we
consider walking rather than riding?
The PGA has written they believe "walking is the most enjoyable
way to play golf and the use of carts is detrimental to the
game." They claim "this negative trend needs to be stopped now
before it becomes accepted that riding in a cart is the way to
play golf."
There is no doubt that walking the course is a good exercise
program. There have been many scientific studies to prove that
walking a golf course is a great exercise. One study has shown
that walking 18 holes has about the intensity of 50 percent of
maxium aerobic workout. Another study shows that bad cholesterol
was reduced in walking golfers.
There are many other sources that show that walking the course
is very good aerobic exercise.
If you are out of shape and overweight like a large percent of
us are, it is best that you start your walking program gradually
rather than all at once.
Some suggestions for those of us that now ride, have been
offered for us to get in shape, slowly. A few of them are; walk

hole; leave your cart on the cart path, and walk to and from
your ball.
It has also been suggested that it is a good idea if walking to
use a pull cart for your bag, or to use double straps on your
golf bag.
Though it may not be the very best form of exercise, it is
surely better than none at all, and a great place to start.
