I think it should be up to the individual to walk or use a cart in everyday golf for amateurs. As you get older it becomes more physically challenging to walk 6 or 7 miles while playing a round. I play at resorts in northern Michigan and most courses there have long stretches between holes. It would be almost impossible to walk some courses there and maintain a decent pace of play.

Walking for all non-senior tournaments on the PGA should be required. If a NFL player is hurt he decides to play or not to play but can’t request special dispensation in order to play. Same for golfers. In the Champions your I think exceptions should be considered.

The use of a cart should be at the option of each player

Can’t imagine more carts than supporting services. However, golfers with a limited time disability would not add that much confusion.

I believe I played better when I walked.
It gives you time to look around and check the conditions before you get to the Ball.
Pulling a 2 wheel cart bothered my back and I started riding.
Don’t have caddies where I play, never tried a remote bag cart or 3 wheeled cart.

Carts are a part of golf every single day and actually speed play up so therefore they should be used especially when a player has a physical disability

I did enjoy walking the golf course. Due to my physical disabilities I can no longer walk. I have played the game for 54 years and have no plans to quit. By eliminating carts for the physically challenge players the tournament eliminates someone chance to see a favorite golfer. In the United States we have the American Disability Act. It has allowed me to keep playing. It has also allowed many Senior Players to still compete longer. Why penalize players that have the ability, but have a physical issue that limits ability to walk the golf course.

In competitive professional golf - walking the course is the only proper way to play. If golf is going to be classified as a professional game, played by athletes, then walking the course has to be mandatory. The fitness of the golfer should be a factor in their performance. If the FSGA claim that the weather is so intense and unpredictable, that riding in a cart is the only way to ensure a golfer's safety, then what they are really saying to the world is - Florida is not the place for professional golf to be played. As for Daly's petition - get real John! If he is out of condition and needs to spend some time in the gym in order for him to compete, then so be it. Easier to do that, than for the world of golf to change just for him. This ios just so typical of the "Me First" generation.

I prefer to walk, because then and only then Golf totally is a body and spirit experience, which I cannot match with a cart and which I don't want to miss. But please, I accept all other opinions and practices. Using a cart, should not be a matter of To be or Not to be. Specially Oldies or handicapped people may profit from carts to be able to enjoy this game. But: the use of carts needs new rules! Why? Simply because they change the Competition of human beings.

If you ever had leg or back issues and still could play/wanted to play I see no reason not to let a person use a cart. This old belief of you must walk to be equal is crazy.
