How is Lakewood not easy to walk?


It's not terrible, but 9 to 10, 14 to 15, and 17 to 18 aren't exactly close, plus 18 to the parking lot is a trek

I have not yet tried one but the new surfboard type individual four wheel golf vehicle looks like a real kick in the arse and will give you much more exercise than a conventional cart !

They are now available for rental at many courses here in Vegas .

Does anybody else find they play much better when walking?


YES! Absolutely. Probably the same exact reasons you listed. I love walking but so many courses don't even allow it and nobody I know wants to walk either. I usually have to save those times for mid-afternoon rounds playing with...errrrrr, by myself.

I walk anytime I can. Just 9 holes walking (carrying clubs) burns about 800 calories where riding burns about 400.

They had a thread a while back that had some stats that said the number of calories burned riding was similar.


I just can't believe that. Especially if you carry your bag.

interesting about the pull carts. I've never liked them. Same calorie burn but better scores.
