Golf Marathon
Getting ready for a September golf trip to Bandon Dunes, Oregon where we'll play/walk 36 holes of golf for 3 consecutive days. This requires a different kind of fitness. The calorie consumption is very high when walking, swinging, and looking for lost golf balls. I was surprised that the average round of golf consumes about 1900 calories depending on temperature, wind, hills, and length.
Today we played (walked with push cart) 38 holes (2 walking home) and burned about 3800 calories over 9 hours.
A challenging workout schedule has prepared me for 38 holes. I was more hungry than tired despite eating about 1000 calories during the rounds plus lunch.
My final drive carried around 300 yards, which is longer than all but a handful of the young studs at our course....
