Kids need to understand that the real joy in golf comes from the sensory sensations of walking and enjoying nature at it’s best. When youngsters play in carts, they lose the meaning of how the game is meant to be played. Walking slows things down, it gives the golfer time to think, which is what you can’t really do when riding.
One of the keys in playing good golf is maintaining a consistent tempo. When riding a cart the game speeds up but so doesn’t your tempo.
