Why We Walk

Walking isn’t just tradition—it’s an experience. When you walk, you see the course the way its architect intended, flowing naturally from green to tee. You feel the terrain under your feet, sense the subtle slopes, and notice details you’d never catch riding in a cart. It’s exercise, meditation, and competition all rolled into one.

At our events, walking isn’t just encouraged—it’s part of the culture. Whether you’re grinding out a qualifier or enjoying a fun two-man format, walking keeps the game authentic and shared. We’ve always believed that golf played on foot builds friendships as much as it builds scorecards.

Enter WalkingGolfer.com

That’s why we were excited to discover WalkingGolfer.com. It’s a site dedicated entirely to one thing: helping golfers find and rate walking-friendly courses across the USA. Through their interactive map and “Rate a Course” feature, you can explore which courses are designed with walkers in mind, and share your own experiences with others who prefer the game step by step.

Think of it as a Yelp for walking golfers—a community-driven hub where walkability is the number one rating factor.

For us, this isn’t just theory—it’s what we live at AmateurGolf.com events. We see players choosing to walk because it sharpens focus, slows the round in the best way, and reminds us all why we fell in love with golf in the first place.

AmateurGolf.com and WalkingGolfer.com share a common mission: celebrating the traditions that make golf special. While we highlight the tournaments, stories, and equipment of the amateur game, WalkingGolfer.com gives players a tool to discover the best courses to walk and rate their experiences.

Stewart Golf: Supporting the Walking Golfer

Of course, walking golf doesn’t mean you have to carry everything yourself. That’s where our partner Stewart Golf comes in. As the Official Electric Caddie of AmateurGolf.com, Stewart Golf has engineered some of the most advanced electric trolleys in the game, designed to make walking easier while keeping the experience authentic.

We chose Stewart Golf after testing many of the top electric caddie brands. Their flagship Q Follow stood out for its hands-free Bluetooth technology, which allows the trolley to smoothly follow you down the fairway, freeing you to focus entirely on your next shot. It’s a modern piece of engineering that actually enhances, rather than interrupts, the rhythm of walking golf.

"Stewart Golf’s Q Follow stood out in our evaluations, offering a seamless, hands-free experience that allows players to focus entirely on their performance. We’re excited to align with a company that shares our passion for walking golf," said AmateurGolf.com founder Pete Wlodkowski.

Other models, like the Vertx Remote, Q Follow Carbon, and V10 Remote, provide additional options for walkers who want innovation without sacrificing the spirit of golf. Together, AmateurGolf.com and Stewart Golf are building a community of ambassadors who represent this movement—players committed to walking and enjoying the game step by step.

If you’re interested in becoming a Stewart Golf ambassador, you can register here. Selected ambassadors will receive special offers, lifetime AmateurGolf.com membership upgrades, and the opportunity to be part of a movement that’s reshaping what it means to walk the game.
