Overall it's great league with some great guys to play with.
Today was also my 100th round of the summer. I keep track of my rounds on a calendar and was shocked to find that I had played that many rounds. So I decided to figure out how many kilometers I walked this summer. I took the yardage from the whites and did some math and came out with 5.2 kilometers per round. Times that by 100 and it was 502 kilos walked. Still more rounds to be played.
I'm 62 years old and both my knees and hips are in excellent shape so I feel fortunate to be able to walk all those rounds. Especially since a couple of my playing partners have had either knee or hip replacements.

That's awesome. I also think you're shorting yourself a bit on the distance you've walked. It's probably closer to a 1000kms than it is to 500kms. My buddy's GPS regularly clocks him at 10kms+ for a round of 18 holes.
