The estimates found googling are all over the place, and seemingly high. I walked 3.5 hours, per Google fit.

    Depends on how bad a golfer you are!

    Assume I swing lustily and often.

    9km walking -> 5.5 miles -> 330 calories for a 200 pounder. Add in 50 for elevation changes and 50 for carrying the bag round, another 150 or so for standing around and you'll probably be in the right neighbourhood.

    Mr. Knight. Thanks. Sounds reasonable.
