Kyle Harris: "My fitness and health is not here to subsidize your lack thereof any more than it already does in life.
Nor is paying for something I most vehemently do not WANT a way to retain my business.
I’m in the South and I walk. Am I not part of the everyone? Raise the rate of the cart to what it actually “costs” to let me walk. Let the lazy and petulant subsidize me."
Easy there Clark Kent. I'm about to have knee surgery but I'd still love to play some golf afterwards. I may, or may not, be able to walk a full round. I honestly don't know. If I feel the need to use a cart, would that make me "lazy and petulant?" No. I would readily pay extra for the assistance/convenience.
I always thought the "greens fee" was the amount a bag carrier/push-carter was charged. Anything above that should contain surcharges. Again, good luck asking any public course what their actual "playing fee" is.
Are you seriously suggesting that recovery from knee surgery is equivalent to someone who could otherwise walk choosing not to?
Those are two completely different things.
How does your recovery align with playing golf, coincidentally?
The bullshit begins with places like Mission Inn which force you to ride their golf course built in 1918 because it is hilly to walk.
Not sure what they did before the golf cart for the first five decades of their history. I guess they just looked at the golf course.
