This isn t going to help his ball striking. It will simply allow him the means to get to his next shot, where he will still be on an even keel with all the other players in having to execute his shot. If Martin were a football player and wanted to use a cart to ride through and around opposition, then the opponents would be right in saying he has an advantage. That s because football is about movement. It s about transporting one s body at the greatest speeds possible all around the field.
Golf is about standing in place and hitting a shot.
What is done in between one shot and the next is irrelevant. Riding a cart to get to your next shot is essentially no more significant in the game itself than a basketball player driving his Porsche to get to the game that night. It s just a means of transportation. Players don t play it for the walking. Most people could care less if golfers walk, run, ride or fly to their shot.
