Agreed bro. Golf is by far the hardest sport to be consistantly good at. Basketball and football came kinda easy to me as you can rely on god given talent...In golf it not only takes athletic ability, but it takes a lot of time to master all of your clubs and be mentally tough...

I think that golfers are athletes in their own right. As for your remark about linemen, I guarantee you any lineman in NCAA Div 1 or the NFL is one hell of an athlete.

Tiger is a great athlete but golfers are not athletes. Any sport were you can play better after a 6 pack does not feature athletes.

I think its like any other sport...you must train to get better, and you have to have a combination of training, ability, God-given talent, and love for the game to be a professional at it. I love playing Golf, cuz I practice can I go on tour--HECK NO! I love football, could I have walked on at ND? Heck no.

Look at Tiger Woods, how can the man NOT be an athlete, his swing generates so much torque on his body he's already had like 2 knee surgeries. Although on of his injuries he got while rehabbing his knee, but still. Golfers are athletes too.

Everyone's a critic till they try and do it.

Kap, I think most of us play better after a 6 pack (sometimes 12) is because we could not play any worse.
