If that’s the case... pm me.  For a vet like yourself, I’ll buy you and 3 other of your friends a round plus carts.   I would do that and be happy to do it for a Vet.  Just let me know.

Yep, I have a push cart and walked half the course. I do it for the exercise and to enjoy the beautiful weather. It's about a two mile walk for a good golfer, so I walk about three. I also spotted a small gator in the water hazard along the fifth fairway. As I searched for my ball he kept indicating that it was closer to the edge of the water, but I was on to him. 
Walking is also a choice because as life progresses, I find I prefer my own company. It's quiet time without conversation to distract me from making wildly sailing shots followed by a string of sharp expletives. Utterly cathartic. 

About the only time I ride anymore is when my son plays along or the odd occasion when I'm invited to play a round. Most of my friends don't play. I'm unsure if that's a good or a bad thing. Regardless, your kind and noble offer is sincerely appreciated, good sir.

I recently picked up a push cart and plan to take advantage of some twilight walking deals this Spring/Summer. 

I plan to get up to Amelia Island one afternoon this week as the Oak Marsh at Amelia Plantation (Omni resort) is running a $20 walking rate after 2pm and they don't let any riders out after 3pm. It's an amazing track for that price. 
Highly recommended. 

Also - Hyde Park supposedly did some renovations during their brief Covid closure and they have a walk rate of $21. 
Not nearly as nice a track, but it has its charms and challenges. 

Looking for more walker deals if you know of any.
