OK, I did a experiment up here in PA with pedometers. On my executive course of 1,550 yds per nine, 3 guys tried the same pedometer for 18 holes and 9 holes. The averge was 1.15 miles for 9 holes and 2.4 mi for 18 (we have 2 sets of tees to make the course 18 holes). say 1,850 steps per mile that equates to around 2,100 steps for 9 holes and around 4,400 for 18. On a championship course I have heard it is about a five mile walk or 9,200 paces. Add 10 % for all the trips to the bathroom and 3 putts......
