Interesting ...

A recent study found the average American golfer walks about 900 miles a Year.

Another study found American golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a Year.

That means, on average, American golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind Of Makes You Proud.

Kinda makes me proud to be an American.
Miles Per Gallon

... only I would have to side with Sandpiper in that those are Canadian and not American Stats. Americans drink far more and walk much less, and should be proud.

I prefer to take a cart, it has room for 4 open beers and a cooler on the back. Only problem is finding room for my GPS, and possibly my golf bag on occasion.

You really just need a beer truck with a rack for your clubs on the back.

Unfortunately our course doesn't have a trail fee. Don't think I haven't thought of it already.

Actually, years ago I had a Geo Tracker that I kept as a 3rd car until we moved up here, mainly for the Convertible, as well as the 4 wheel drive for my wife to drive in the winter when she had her sports car. When she traded in the BMW, we also traded in the Tracker. I really thought that thing would make a darn fine golf cart, with just a few minor altercations to hold the bags.
