Be a Walker not a W**ker
May I please lend my support to your 'Ban the Buggy' campaign. It is by far the biggest reason why 5 hour rounds have become the norm.
One of the main joys of golf is that regardless of ability you are having a good walk in the countryside, away from work, mobiles & the missus & enjoying the banter & social side with your playing partners. Buggies can only detract from this.
May I please lend my slogan 'BE A WALKER NOT A W**KER !' to your campaign.
