A person flips along the TV stations endlessly to discover nothing is on cable. He sees a channel that is displaying a golf tournament and decides he has nothing else to do so he might as well watch a boring sport like golf. He watches as a professional effortlessly pulls out an amazing shot and the crowd roars. The man thinks to himself that he could be a great golfer and how easy this game looks; but what he doesn't know is that the game of golf is one of the most challenging sports in today's world.
The game of golf physically is very challenging to the player. Unlike other sports, the slightest adjustment can throw off his or her entire swing. The player could just move his hands on the club one or two inches and this could create a whole different result if he would have kept his hands where they were. Baseball, Basketball and other sports don't have such precise requirements to pull of a move or an action. Also, golf requires a variety of shots to hit. Short shots, long shots, trick shots, putting, and chipping are just a few that a player has to master in order to succeed. Golf takes lots of practice to master also because of how many different things he has to perform on the course, and with limited resources it's difficult for some people to get in the practice they need. Golf challenges a player in every swing he makes out on the course. The golfer has no time to rest and every shot could make the difference in his or her score.
Mentally, golf is one of the toughest challenges in all of sports. Confidence is such a big factor for the player in golf. Confidence can sink or float a player because without confidence the player could start trying to make changes in his swing without practicing first and this can lead to disaster. Also, confidence can lead to success because with confidence the player just lets his body do the work and doesn't think too much about each shot.
