If you could change one thing in any given sport what would it be?

Walking a 4 mile course, up and down rolling hills, and hitting a golf ball about 50 times [from the fairway, or worse] is not as easy as it looks. Then do it four days in a row. And in the down time between rounds, hit about 1000 golf balls at the practice range.

If you were to do this, you would probably not be able to bend over and touch your toes on Monday.

Wahhhhh! Still not athletes. Hell, I am tired as hell after working a five day work week and can hardly touch my toes but I'm not an "athlete". And no, it's not that I am fat, I'm not.

Yeah. Say whatever you want. I used to think the exact same thing, until I went out and started playing golf. One day I was stupid and decided to save a few bucks and walk.

Your definition of athlete right now seems to be anyone who does something to make them really tired.

I defintely agree. Golf is definitely an athletic event... try it and you will understand. It is more than just hitting a golf ball that is not moving. To try it and to see the pros do it gives you such a great appreciation for the game.

Athletic for a 60 year old rich white dude with arthritis maybe. I have tried it and 9 holes are fun - 18 holes is a drunk. Takes up to much land for ball that small and employs to many immigrants to wash a white mans balls.
