Saturday I got nailed on the foot by someone's errant drive. Darn, that sucker hurt for a while! When they came looking for their balls, both of which were hit into the wrong fairway, I was standing there on one foot, saying bad words. At least they said they were sorry, even if they didn't...

We have a couple of not-so-good courses nearby that DO allow walking, and they are about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the good, but ride only courses. From now on I'm only playing courses that allow walking. So I'm voting with my feet. :)
