John, >Also the "playing field" is purposely designed to be difficult, imagine a ball park with "hazards". "Whoa, the second baseman just fell into a sand trap!". You may have something there! After all, all the new parks are putting in weird outfield fence configs, copying Fenway. Extend it by putting mounds all over the OF, sandtraps in the IF, maybe the mound moves up and down. Getting silly. A golf club face has more opportunities to be out of position at impact than any other piece of sports equipment. Closed or open, descending angle or shallow angle, thin or fat, inside out or outside in, on the heel or on the toe. In any combination. Multiply that by the ball possibly being above or below your feet, on an uphill or downhill lie, etc. Tony

John, RE: Also the "playing field" is purposely designed to be difficult, imagine a ball park with "hazards". "Whoa, the second baseman just fell into a sand trap!" A golf club face has more opportunities to be out of position at impact than any other piece of sports equipment. Closed or open, descending angle or shallow angle, thin or fat, inside out or outside in, on the heel or on the toe. In any combination. Golf is played with 14 different clubs, more equipment than any other sport. It's the only sport where a low score is a better score. Where a bad shot ends up costing you more strokes. Imagine if ball players lost a run for every strike out, you wouldn't see too many home runs. I read this and think of Equestrian Jumping. It has hazards on the playing field. You're dealing with a live animal, it's got to be more difficult to control than an inanimate object. Yeah, it doesn't have 14 different pieces of equipment, but that's just an aspect of rules rather than necessity. You can play golf with one club. And a low score is a better score. What's more, if there's a tie, rather than a playoff, the faster competitor wins. that adds an additional element of difficulty. Equestrian Jumping must be the most difficult sport.
