How We Calculate Calories Burned for Disc Golf in Eau Claire
Our calculator uses the standard MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula with a local climate adjustment for Eau Claire:
Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × Climate Factor
= 3.5 × Weight (kg) × Duration (hrs) × 1.03
The MET value of 3.5 for disc golf is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 is Calorique's planning adjustment for Eau Claire's average temperature of 46°F.

Disc golf involves throwing a flying disc into metal baskets across a course of 9 or 18 holes, similar to traditional golf but more accessible and affordable. Players walk the course carrying their discs, covering 1-3 miles per round over varied terrain including hills and wooded paths. The throwing motion engages the core, shoulders, and hips through a rotational power movement. Disc golf provides a relaxing outdoor workout that combines cardiovascular benefits from walking with upper body engagement from throwing.
