Golf was built to be walked—and in this episode, we dig into why walking isn’t just “old-school,” it’s the best way to experience the game.
Rob Rigg (Founder, The Walking Golfer / Walking Golfer Society) joins Mark Stewart (Co-Founder & CEO, Stewart Golf) for a wide-ranging conversation on the culture of walking golf, the community that forms when you play on foot, and the real physical + mental benefits that come with it. They also break down how electric caddies can make walking more accessible—keeping the rhythm, conversation, and connection to the course, while taking the strain out of carrying.
If you’ve ever felt like riding changes the feel of a round, this one’s for you.
