Just an estimate, how many calories do you think are burnt walking 9 holes on an average golf course, while carrying clubs? I'm a lousy golfer too, so I swing my club around 60 times per 9..:grumble:

    600-700 based on your weight and how straight you hit the ball :laugh:

    This site has a LOT of activities and it DOES use your weight in the calculations

    I never really log it or track it...I just figure it's enough to enjoy a couple beers at the club house afterwards.

    New Holland. I just played my first 18 of the year today at Hawk Valley riding. That link I gave you wants to give me 1155. MFP wants to give me 1157. I think I will take 500 for it :wink:

    Another approach you might take is to weigh your clubs. Add that to your weight and use that calculator (or another) and use this total weight and Walking 2 MPH or so?

    about 50-120 an hour. give or take. The quotes from that site include BMR, so are very misleading. the average person burns 2-3cal/min just existing standing around. a light walk is less than 2cal/min.
