Looking forward to some golf on Friday. I tried to join a local league, but could only get in as a Sub. I've already got a couple requests to sub and have been told that it's pretty common to be able to golf every Friday as a sub. A couple things I'm looking forward to are that it's just 9 holes and they allow you to walk.
I've typically played 18. That was all good when it was just me and a friend and we would go off first thing on Sunday and be done in 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Lately, it's been painful. We've had a lot of rain and carts are cart path only and I've had two 18 hole rounds exceed 5 hours. I like golf, but I don't want to spend that much time of my day golfing. Nine holes should only take a couple hours even if the pace is very slow. That will work for me.
Walking 9 seems like it will be great exercise. The course is pretty flat, so shouldn't be too hard. As a sub, I'll do whatever the partner is doing (if he's riding, I'll ride . . ), but if I get in as a member, I'll start walking exclusively. Now I need to get a push cart. The last benefit of walking is the cost. For the league, it's only $11 to golf 9 without a cart. That's a good cost for this course and will be an inexpensive way for me to get out one more time per week.
