I have the answer to your problem Rob, its called a Hovercart and does not require wheels (see photo 1 of Hovercart on 5th GreenTOCC).
The advantage is that it reduces the wear and tear on the course, reduces the need for a path and overnight minimises maintenance costs.
The Hovercart is also useful to collect those wayward shots in the lake or pond and if water is shallow enough may just allow the player the chance not to drop a shot ((see photo 2)
Regards the Maintenance costs these Hovercarts can either skip across the fairways or if required could use the adjacent rivers as Hovercart paths (see photo 3), slashing the costs by building tarmac paths.
To those keen on Walking, we have refused to cut the exhaust noise from their Hovercarts in the hope of driving those prone to using carts off the course. There is also a possibility that motion sickness will also prevail giving a greater advantage to the Walking Golfer.
This advertisement on behalf of Golf Hovercarts UK, has by law to carry a health warning that Hovercarting may have drastic effects on your body due to the lack of exercise because you will be sitting on your bum most of the time and may reduce your life expectancy. There could be some side effects such as believing that you are a real golfer which leading to early dementia of the golfing kind.
