Walking a private course in the Southeast is a minor act of defiance against the region's cart-first defaults
Walking a private course in the Southeast is a minor act of defiance against the region's cart-first defaults. At East Lake, 18 holes over 7,346 yards of rolling Bermuda terrain means the walk has substance. In Southern heat, it demands respect. Members who walk here have made a deliberate choice. The turf and the pace are better for it. Summer heat in the Deep South is not a footnote. It's a condition. Morning tee times are not a preference. They're a plan. A walking-only policy in the Southeast is an anomaly worth supporting. Caddies are available. In that heat, the assist with the bag is as practical as it is traditional. Restaurant in the clubhouse. Cold beverage required.
