Apple Watch golf workout activity doesn't track distance?

I've used Apple Watch for years to track distance hiking, walking, running, etc.

I recently took up golf, and enjoy walking the course for exercise and serenity :)

There is a golf workout in Fitness / Workout.

The workout app records heart rate, calories burned, etc. but does not appear to record distance. What gives?


p.s. If I use outdoor walk workout while golfing, it records distance, but it also taps me on the wrist and bugs me "have you finished your workout" every time I stop to take a shot.

Turn off start and end workout reminders in the watch app;

Tap on Activity and turn them off there.
