No Walking Golf Courses

I'm so sick of this trend in golf. Golf is a sport, not a game. You take the walking out of golf you turn it into a game. There needs to be a walking only course built. Or maybe a course can use a day or two a month just for walkers. It is a really sad trend going on in golf.

Golf is a precision club-and-ball sport, in which competing players (golfers), using many types of clubs, attempt to hit balls into each hole on a golf course while employing the fewest number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that does not require a standardized playing area. Instead, the game is played on golf "courses,"

Agree 100%. For various reasons which do NOT involve me being a big time player and do NOT involve be being a bad-ass golfer I belong to 2 private clubs right now. Don't ask it's not impressive.

1 club does not allow carts on the fairways (i.e. except for handicapped players and wtf are you doing playing if you are hurt). The fairways remain immaculate. Moreover the round goes fast if every player goes to their ball and is ready to hit when it is their turn. there are also caddies available which can be extremely helpful or not. But most importantly I almost always play better when I don't have to ride around in the cart. Golf is a thinking game and the vehicle ruins it. A cart has it's place but golf is meant to be played on foot.

Having said all that, it is hard as hell to lug around a 12 pack of coors lite in your walk bag.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
