I golfed Yankee Clipper at 6pm. Walking, it's 1 3/4 miles long.

Here is an alternative, I think most of the drug stores have pedometers, get one of these, walk a measured mile, and then go golfing, your will have exactly the distance you walked. These are typically well under $20.

Hope this helps.

how far you walked...steps very in length when going up and down hills/small rises...you also shuffle when on the green and don't move at all when taking a swing, yet the ped. measures a stride based on movement and can not discern if a movement is a step/short step/hop or not....

Default Map my Walk

Downloaded this App but keep forgetting to try it when walking the Exec courses. My Iphone6 doesn't fit comfortably in my pocket - does anyone know if I can leave it in my golf bag on my pull cart and have it still work?

By the way, I walked Volusia last week and didn't find it difficult, just a little uphill for short periods, good calf and Achilles stretch, I thought. Found Mangrove harder, just a long way between some greens and the next teebox. Pelican was ok to walk yesterday. Most of the courses have some shortcuts you can take to catch up or beat the people playing in carts with you.

Yes, Map my Walk will still work in your bag on your cart, but only measure where your cart goes. Therefore, all the walking you do on the greens and tee boxes will not be recorded. The iPhone is very accurate, as it uses GPS to measure distances. I actually use the Health App on iOS. It measures distances accurately and will even stop measuring, if I jump in the golf cart and ride to the next tee box, since it measures speed too. If I'm going to fast, it knows I'm not walking any longer.

Last time I played 18 holes at Mallory, I recorded 9.02 miles on Map my Walk

2 to 2/1/2 miles is a good ballpark figure depending on the executive course and your skill level. On most Championship Courses it is 5 to 5/1/2 miles.

You can keep your phone in your bag. After golf I forgot to turn it off and as I was driving Map My Walk would tell me each mile passed.
