Walking or Riding?

I love to walk w/ my push cart..   Good exercise and like you said Jack, it gives me time to think about my next shot which I think speeds up the play of golf, IMO...  

Also, this gives you more times to chat with your buddies WHILE you're walking to your ball... 

I love to walk.  Almost every round I play I walk.  My home course if very "walker friendly" as the greens and next tee boxes are close together.  I find that when I ride in a cart it takes me out of my "flow."  It is uncanny how I know the distances when walking and do not need a rangefinder or sprinkler head. 

It is almost like riding turns into a completely different game.

I would rather walk the course then ride,just feel I play better walking then when riding,plus side of walking is staying loose through out the round and it mentally helps me  when I hit a bad shot to erase it from my mind as I walk to my ball.Christopher already said it but great exercise.

Walk and carry all day!!  I feel like I play much better and get into a solid rhythm when I'm walking. I've even walked at tracks where the car was included.  It's just a more enjoyable experience IMO

I would certainly prefer to ride, but I wouldn't be opposed to walking if someone had asked, just wouldn't make it a regular thing. 

As a general rule I typically walk if I'm only playing 9 and ride if I'm doing a full 18

I always prefer to walk. My wife and I use a trolley to carry our clubs. I only use a cart if its a huge course that's hilly and there long distances between the greens and tees. Preferred course is a links course and walking. 

either to me is fine. some of my older playing partners like to ride so i will with them. sometimes in the heat of summer (Florida) i'll ride because the heat can really wear you out when walking

Depending upon the course or the situation, I'll do either.  I prefer walking, for the same reasons already listed.  But if I'm the only guy in the foursome walking, or if it's a course designed for carts (long distances between green and next tee), I'll ride.

I prefer to walk most courses. I like the additional exercise, it helps me to stay in a better mindset, and it allows me to take in and enjoy a lot more about the course and the day in general.

I prefer to walk, but with a lack of cartilage in my left knee it's hard to too much walking anymore I have an unloader brace that I wear, but even with that I'm only good for 9 holes walking.  If I'm playing 18, I have to ride.

Walk with a push cart

Walking .... unless they make you pay for a cart.

I walk with a push cart. It's a compromise for me, i don't like to ride, but i don't want to carry my bag. 

If I had a caddie, it would be perfect.

I actually like to walk when I have the opportunity.  Our Club doesn't allow walking on Saturday mornings (before 12:00) as a way of trying to get all the morning players around in a timely manner, but if I get out during the week or Sunday afternoon I will usually walk.  Not only is it great exercise, but a great way to have good conversations and camaraderie with your entire foursome as you make the trek up the fairways.

I agree with the other posters here that walking is better.  It helps with rhythm, course management, and obviously gives us some much needed exercise!

I bought a lightweight stand bag to carry, and sometimes walk with just my 'odd' irons and one wedge to save weight and make that days round just a little more interesting.

Walking is best...by far. In Florida riding is a must at times but when the weather permits I love to walk. I agree with everyone that talked about the rhythm of the game. It makes a difference.

My league night allow me the opportunity to walk, When playing my home course it has to be carted, This week in FLA it's so hot and spaced out nothing but cart.
