exactly... i really wasn't trying to nit pick or split hairs.......golf is all about the internal/mental/battle against self ...... but to me its not the same as an intellectual affair...
I think a battle of intellect requires opposing ideas........in a sense football (like chess) is a battle of ideas....yours against another person's
Golf is more like overcoming nerves or being perfectly calm, or having perfect consistent mechanics.........battling your own mind/body.
