Walking vs riding
Adapting Walking vs Riding for Juniors, Seniors, and Busy Golfers
Choose walking or riding around the golfer’s body, schedule, course, and energy — not somebody else’s idea of purity.
Different golfers need different setups
Juniors often learn responsibility by walking: where to place the bag, how to read a hole, and how to manage their own clubs. Seniors may play better and enjoy the day more with a cart when heat, hills, or joints are a factor. Busy golfers may ride because nine holes after work is better than no golf at all.
Make the format fit the person
- Juniors: use lighter bags and shorter loops before building to 18.
- Seniors: ride on demanding days and walk when the course and body allow it.
- Busy golfers: choose the format that keeps the round relaxed, not squeezed.
- Returning players: start with nine holes and review how the body feels afterward.
Simple standard: The right format lets the golfer finish with clear swings and a good mood.
Keep the goal in view
Transportation is not the competition. The point is to play more golf, keep pace, and make decisions with enough energy left to care.
