i ve never walked a course before because of the strain on my back from swinging alot at the range i just figured it wouldnt be such a good idea but im needing to get into better shape and why not do it while doing my faveorite thing so i was wondering how many golfers walk the courses ? would it be better to only try 9 holes at first and see how my back holds up and what if anything else should i take along with me/ water and energy bars are a must for me should i limit my clubs i carry in my bag ? get a smaller bag , buy a pull cart ? what do some of you golfers use? thanks for any sugestions
