Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 5202498, member: 474"] Each sport has its thing that makes it hard. Golf - easy you can play it until you are 80+ But to play it at high high level. Hard. Go to most any avg course at the tips and add 50 yds or more to see what the pros deal with. Then up the speed of the greens.. Then walk the 18 and when you are done go hit 1000 more shots and putt and chip for an hr or 2. Do that day after day and see how you deal with it. But what makes golf hard is the what happens when you are not playing well. On a good day for us we hit 12/14 fairways and 14 greens and thats all fine. But on the days you hit 7 fairways and 8 greens and still need to shoot 4 under to compete. Thats what makes a pro. Getting our of bunkers and trees and real rough in every condition. Baseball/softball. The skill side of it equates even to slow pitch and in some ways more in slow pitch. The hitting side fast pitch can be harder than baseball but even in slow pitch when you play at high levels or on open fields or with 1 person HR rules it can be tough. But baseball has the most variety of thinking stuff than any sport because of where the ball can go before and after its pitched and hit and most people never even know they are in the wrong spot contact sports vary all over because it rewards a body type most of us never have or had. Some sports are just things that most people never do. Like how many ride horses at high level. Its tough and physical Thinking ice hockey is easy. If you can skate thats one thing, can you pass and shoot and do it, while getting decked into boards and do it at full speed for 60 min. thats why shifts only last 30-40 secs, can you take pucks out of the air and pass to spots or move the puck behind the back and thru the legs at speed. Most of us just never have the time or will to master any sport. Being good at several is hard and there is a reason hockey/baseball/golf some people can cross over because the skill sets match up nicely. some sports the skill set doesnt really match up at all to other sports.
