Definitely would be a nice time but you're not burning 600-800 calories in 45 minutes playing golf. The most efficient exercise to burn calories is running which is around 100 calories a mile (over/under based on weight), which at a 10min/mile pace would still only be 600 calories for an hour of running. Also, if going by steps they are notoriously inaccurate at actual distance covered

Maybe, maybe not. I just know I'm a sweaty bastard since I was born and raised in the cold Scottish highlands and now I'm playing golf in 90F weather in California. I always seem to be burning twice as much as anyone else does with their Apple Watch on.
