Do you ever wonder why on a beautiful day, blue sky, and perfectly cut green grass, white sandy bunkers, crystal clear water hazards…everyone is in a cart????? I DO!  Now I understand the rules of some courses to keep rounds from being 6 hours long it is necessary but don’t you think it would be nice to get the added benefit of walking.  Once Again I DO!


Here are a few stats:

  • If you walk 36 holes a week that is equivalent to over 3000 calories
  • Approximate calories burned per round
  • Walking: 721
  • Using push cart: 718
  • Using caddie: 613
  • Riding 411

    •  

    Don’t Believe me? Here is a great calculator!
    So if you have a chance get out and walk, enjoy the weather, and shoot low scores!
