» 10/27/09 Soles of the Game
Were it not for the invention of the golf cart, Colorado would not have half the courses it does. Riding allows the existence of layouts such as Sanctuary, Keystone's River Course and Ironbridge. And you'd never get enough walking players to make courses like Arrowhead, Bear Dance and Redlands Mesa economically feasible. Last week, however, I eschewed the cart, threw my clubs on my back and hoofed two consecutive rounds. I played better than I'd played all season. The reason, I believe, has much to do with walking as opposed to riding. While riding conserves my energy, it robs me of feeling the game's natural rhythm. When I keep moving, I remain continuously physically engaged. The cadence of my gait transfers to the cadence of my swing, resulting in better tempo. It's more than a coincidence that I posted my two best scores of the season while lugging my clubs around. I wonder if anyone else feels the same way? [more]
