The cart was sold to golfers as convenience, but plenty of players are rediscovering that walking is simply the better way to experience the game. On a short, well-routed course, walking isn’t a chore — it’s the whole point.
When you walk, you arrive at your ball already in the shot, with your head clear and your tempo settled. You feel the firmness underfoot, read the wind across the hole, and play at the pace the course was designed for. Many players score better walking simply because they’re more present.
There’s the health side, too: a walking round is a few miles of easy exercise in beautiful country. Strawgrass was routed green-to-tee to be walked start to finish — no long transfers, no waiting on a cart path, just a good stroll with a club in your hand.
