Walking while playing takes stamina. As you lose steam walking a course over the course of the day it affects your swing, making it harder for you to stay down through shots, fire your body through the ball, and maintain a consistent coil in your backswing. Even though people may **** it up and play terribly, the aerobic part of basketball is also taxing and necessary to actually play the game.

Walking golf actually does take a great deal of stamina. Being outside in 90+ degrees for 4.5+ hours in a tournament is not for the meek. Then do that for 4 days straight. Conversely, playing in bad weather is just as tough. You have to shut out the heat/cold, sweat/rain, annoying galleries at times, slow play of other golfers, etc. To maintain focus for that long is one of the toughest things I've ever had to do. I've played in many a tournament and when I've been in my best physical form I've played the best. But any golfer will tell you that its just as mental.

First of all, everyone has a "this is how you fix a slice" thought, but 90% of golfers slice, so take all with a grain of salt, this one included. The difference between a pull and a slice is the face angle of the club at impact. In both cases the swing path (the arc the club travels0 is the same, but with a cut the face is open and with a pull its closed. That said: It's happening for two reasons: 1) You're throwing your right shoulder at the ball, which ****s up your swing plane. 2) Your clubface is open. Focus on two things: 1) Strengthen your grip. The V formed by your thumb and forefinger should point at your right shoulder as you address the ball 2) Feel like you are holding your right shoulder back as you begin the downswing. If you can do this without losing your spine angle you'll put the club in the slot and hit it from the inside. If you have the same grip that used to cause a pull, it will now be a draw.

but I've walked 36 holes in summer heat and I don't feel like it has ever effected me a bit... I just don't think it's fair to say people who ride a cart aren't playing a sport because they are riding a cart...that doesn't make sense to me. I'm no better in a cart than I am when I'm walking. In fact, I'm probably better when I walk but my fat lazy friends don't ever want to walk. If your point is that fat lazy people aren't athletes than for the most part I'll agree with you...but you see them play softball, basketball and golf so I don't think anyone tries to argue that the first two aren't sports because of that. My dad and uncle are avid golfers and both played hockey at MSU...once my dad's hockey career was over he shifted to golf and is an amazing golfer...I find it hard to believe someone with no athletic ability to could pick up a golf club and, with practice, become a good golfer... you have to have athletic ability to be able to swing a golf club and make that piece of shit ball do what you're trying to do |

as for 2) Man, I'll certainly try. I love golf. I just hate sucking at it. It infuriates me because my whole life I've watched people be good at it. I'm going to have to try some things at the range this year... |

I routinely went out and walked during the dog ass days last summer, and by the end of the round I was definitely fatigued and it affected my game. I think walking makes golf more physically demanding, but mentally easier.

If you are the more hard-headed type, just put a 2x4 just to the outside of your ball. You'll either fix your swing plane or break your wrist.
