..... you play too soon after the implant. It is normal practice to wait 8 to 12 weeks before doing a full swing and then all should be OK  ( I played today as it happens )

There is slack built into the leads to allow for activities like swinging a golf club

After the initial wait period for all to heal you should be good to go.   I've had a PM or ICD since 2009 and play golf and hockey multimple times a week.

The pacer systems are really very reliable. The main problem is the incompetent programming of them. If yours is working well for you, get on with life and enjoy it. You probably are more at risk of problems with a valve job than the pacer.
