Matty I don't understand the hate towards gollf. Tiger is a beast on the course, and I saw him up close today(about two feet away). He is pretty damn jacked in the sense of being cut. In terms of the "gut", didn't see it. Also golf is mentally tougher than football IMO, as a person who has played both at a HS level(yeah I know I am not a pro, never said I was). Only sport that I think gets as tough mentally is tennis.
Individual sports demand a mental game that is unheard of in team sports, or atleast consistently winning in the individual requires that. That is why there are so few extremely dominant individual athletes compared to team "superstars".
Funny note for any of those into golf. I was there at the first round today and Anthony Kim practice ran me over on the way to the restroom after a drive. I was walking away from the hole after his group finished hitting off the tee and then some little guy knocks into me and apologizes. It was Kim running to the bathroom, haha I guess he really had to go.
I think it depends on which position you play. Playing QB in the NFL is probably the most mentally demanding thing in sports IMO. But no question being a pro golfer takes some serious mental toughness.
