Walking Golf Course Affects Swing, Performance

No way! I bet walking long distances also increases your heart rate. And getting hit by a truck triggers your pain receptors. This guy is a genious

Answer 1

It seems to be an invalid test, in my opinion.

I don't walk one mile, then hit 20 shots in a row.

I walk from one shot to the next, and hit one shot. This distance is usually(!) less than 300 yards.

Answer 2

Actually, there was a discussion which of riding or walking would be better for your game.  Personally I find that I play my best when I walk.  I feel more relaxed, focused, swing smoother and while I am walking to my next shot, i have time to visualize what I want to do with it.

The report suggests otherwise, that walking has negative impact on your swing.

So this guy is bringing forward a valid point, unlike your suggestion that he's discussing an obvious thing.

Answer 3

i had the same feeling after reading that, how many people still carry their clubs??? most people have carts to roll the clubs around...

Answer 4

Every one to his own opinion. My take on journalists is that they are big in the mouth and small in the talent. Once they pass  Criticism 101 they feel that their word is law. The majority have never accomplished anything, have liberal viewpoints from liberal professors who have never accomplished anything. What do you expect?? Rocket science??
