One of the many time honored traditions of golf is walking the course and soaking up the beauty of the surrounding. Walking has other benefits as well, like improving both your health and the environment that you might not have thought of. Unfortunately less and less golfers walk and instead the use of the cart have been the preferred mode of transportation.

There may be various reasons why walking may not be an option. First, the golfer’s health is the issue as the golfer may suffer from foot, knee or back ailments preventing them from walking the course without pain or discomfort. But many times the course will not allow walking as they have strict rules on mandatory use of carts during certain hours or the course was built that the adjacent holes are simply too far apart to make walking practical. However, many golf courses are walking-friendly and there is an option that is left up to the golfer.
