It requires a gift to have ball placement. Short or long game - that's true.
There are people who can or can't. You have it or you don't. But it's still bowling for the rich. The more you think about it the more it truly is the same.

I think you haven't thought about it enough with a club in your hands. The more you think about it, the more that's true.

I won't deny there is an inherent talent. Some angry 17 year old, unlimited course time, and some clubs make not a good golfer. At the same time you can't compare that to most sports...

Look at all the professional athletes from other sports that absolutely LOVE playing golf. It's a challenge that's simple, but really difficult. |

I know you don't.
I find it damn funny about how defensive people are about it. Nobody is saying that it is easy to do, nobody is saying that being in better shape doesn't help. But broken down, it is just you against yourself and the elements. FTR, I don't even consider the 100 yard dash a sport either, it is a race and on the olympic level those guys are studs. Same with male gymnastics, not a sport, but damn those are some real athletes. |

Golf is a sport but it's a non athletic sport. You don't have to be an athlete to play it or be good at it.

For me it is simple, the definition of sport is way too vague and golf shouldn't be one. To me, a sport would have someone trying to stop you from getting that ball in the hole. |
