I think golfers like Tiger Woods are definitely more athletic than most NFL players. Absolutely.

I don't think basketball players are the best athletes. I don't know how tall Lebron is but most basketball players are too tall to be great soccer players. Male gymnast are much better athletes than basketball players ever be. What is true that basketball players > football players > baseball players. But track and field athletes, swimmers, male gymnast > basketball players.

I don't see how anyone can say it isn't physically demanding. It is 4 days of constantly hitting balls. But more than that is the mental part of the game. It will wear on you as well.

You won't be able to play golf at all then. Golf is very hard on your back, shoulders, hips, and arms. There is a lot of force that is in a golf swing. Golf is harder on your body than baseball easily.

So if you're playing basketball at age 13 you're not playing a sport.

Most people in the world have no idea who the World's Greatest Athlete is. Traditionally, that term has been reserved for one type of athlete. His name is Ashton Eaton.

I had this argument with morphius several years ago. He seemed to believe that hanging drywall was more of a sport than golf.

I was nonplussed.

I might argue that in many facets of what's considered healthy, soccer players are about as athletic as you can get...

there is no such thing as a scratch golfer who isn't coordinated or athletic...

this is honestly not a debate; anyone who thinks a scratch golfer isn't an athlete is wrong and is ignorant

There is some truth to this. There was a kid in high school who was a tremendous bowler. He also played on the tennis team. I'd never picked up a racket before. When I played him in gym I beat him because he was slow and uncoordinated.

Hootie · 04-13-2013, 07:24 PM

of course my average in bowling in league play during the year is between 180 and 190 every year and then in the summer I did a pro oil league and I averaged a 130. Can't miss your spot by a ****ing centimeter.

LOL! Speed drywall racing would be a sport by the golfers definition, as long as it was a race.

just saying.

This stuff angers me, because I know that if someone like LeBron or Adrian Peterson wanted to train for the decathlon in their late teens to early 20s they would dominate these guys.

Hootie · 04-13-2013, 07:27 PM

I take it Morphius doesn't golf, either.

I just can't fathom how one can think golf isn't a sport unless they have never golfed or are just really bad at it.

Hootie · 04-13-2013, 07:28 PM

no one can tell me there is a better athlete out there than LeBron James
