Benefits of walking during a round of golf

“Golf is a good walk spoiled.”

American author Mark Twain famously uttered that quote—but at least he had a good walk, even if his golf game wasn’t apparently anything to write home about.

Our game is great for many reasons—it’s a way to socialize with friends, enjoy the outdoors, meet new people, and perhaps most importantly, maintain an active lifestyle. Forgoing a cart and walking 9 or 18 holes is an excellent way to fully appreciate all that golf has to offer. Whether that’s engaging with nature’s beauty, admiring the subtle complexities of a course layout, or meeting fitness goals, walking is a good choice for a variety of reasons. Today, walking the course is more accessible than ever. Make this season your most active yet by ambling the fairways with your foursome and the best push cart options we’ve ever seen.
