Walking is a great exercise and with a push golf cart, you can get better exercise on the course.
It makes quite a bit of sense to walk while on the course, but this doesn't mean you have to carry your clubs.
This is a simple way to enjoy the game and get good exercise.
Some say that walking with a push cart is not all that good for exercise, but I beg to differ.
Most of the people that say it's not good exercise have never walked a full eighteen holes in four hours or less.
It is about a four-mile walk, not to mention the muscles you use when you swing the club.
Of course, if you play a longer course, it will be a bit longer of a walk, but either way it is great exercise.
Many have stated that a four hour round of golf is about the same as a 45-minute fitness class with no breaks.
This gives you many great health benefits and allows you to do more with your fitness than you might expect.
Others state that walking a full round of golf equates to about 70 percent of the maximum intensity of any aerobic workout.
This is great exercise regardless of the doubters.
Another thing that was found by Dr.
Edward A.
Palank's study proved that walking on the golf course, lowers your levels of bad cholesterol, and helps to keep the good cholesterol steady.
It was not the same for those studied that took riding carts on the course.
Even David Fay from the USGA says, "We strongly believe that walking is the most enjoyable way to play golf and that the use of carts is detrimental to the game.
" You need to adopt the ability to walk as much as possible, even if your golfing friends don't walk when they play.
You can choose to just put your bag on the cart or take a push golf cart instead of carrying them.
Getting the time to think about the game in between shots and knowing that you are getting great exercise will even help your game.
You can even learn more about your regular course when you walk it instead of riding in a cart.
You will find the nuances that you miss when going through the course with a cart really fast.
Push golf carts have been made to make the game easier as you get older because not everybody can carry their clubs.
They are now more technically advances and affordable for all golfers.
You can rent a simple one for a few dollars at most course, or invest a couple hundred in a nice one for yourself to use all the time.
They are now made with lighter metals and make to last much longer with actual tires with tread.
Larger tires make it easier to push the cart and you will be able to do so much more with the cart than old ones.
Many accessories are also available for your push cart to make things even more enjoyable.
These include attachments for a water bottle, umbrellas, cell phones, and more.
Take the time to find the right push cart and get your exercise while saving on the riding cart fees you pay.
