Cart Smarts

With two posts under my emperor's belt, I feel I have waited an appropriate length of time before beginning to deal with golf.

Upon my coronation, golf carts will no longer be mandatory ever, anywhere.  If the course design is so stupid that there is a pace-screwing walk from green to tee, the course will be required to provide an extremely efficient and frequent shuttle.

While we're at it, anybody who walks will be allowed to do so without paying for the cart they don't use.

This does not mean anyone gets to poke along and slow the pace of play.  Pace-maintaining rules and designs are encouraged.  But mandatory carts are not the answer to anything.
