Hi,
Played a round of golf of Friday, plugged in the details to the exercise page and it indicated approx 1800 calories for 3 hours of playing. Is that right ?

    Sounds more than a bit high. Did you walk the course or use a cart? A relatively normal weight person wouldn't burn that much walking a typical golf course.

    You might get a better estimate using a fitness tracker.

    Ex. I hiked 5.5 mi yesterday over 2.5 hrs in terrain with 500 ft elevation changes and my tracker barely gave me 1700 cals burned. And I even think that's high.

    I used to log golf calorie burns even when riding 18 vs. walking. I would log only half of the number given to account for inaccuracies.

    Did you walk or ride during the 3 hours you played?
