Golf is such a complex sport. It looks easy, but ask anyone who has seriously picked up a 9-iron just how difficult it truly is. There is a real science tothe sport. I am not implying that there isn't one in other sports but it's way different when it comes to golf.

Golf is multi-tiered. Meaning that there is much more than just hitting a ball really hard to make it go really far, (this is known as the log drive btw). Onemust be skilled at accurately hitting the ball a great distance. In order to do so, one must swing and aim the club at the appropriate speed. Then there'sthe mid-game, where one must calculate height and distance in order to place the ball as close to the hole as possible. Finally, there is putting. This mayappear to be the easiest aspect of it, but it certainly takes expertise to do well. One must take into account not only the slope of the course, but even thegrain of the grass and how that will affect your shot.

I'm not the greatest golfer but it requires a great deal of mental toughness. I cannot get over the fact how metally tough tiger woods is. Everytime hehits a bad shot he just bounces back from it. I dunno if it is just me but it's crazy to see how mentally tough pro athletes can be and how it seperatesthem from everyone else.

Ya mental toughness is truly what separates the good players from the great ones

Tiger, and this thread are appreciated, but OP...Barry Bonds as the avy when you're making Tiger Appreciation threads? Isn't that like being a huge fan of Mother Theresa and Lindsay Lohan at the same time?

ya i would agree that he dominates the sport unlike any one athlete in any other sport. it really is amazing. and btw OPs avy isnt Barry Bonds.
