Golf is the most difficult sport in the world

According to the expert research, it turns out that Golf is one of the most difficult sports in the world. The proof is that the champions do not always win in 60% of the tournaments they participated. In fact Tiger Wood does not always win like in 2013 for example. After the champion, his rank dropped to 30th.

To achieve the ability as a decent beginner golfer, a senior player said that someone has to practice hitting at least 10,000 balls. This exercise is performed on the driving range with an average hit of 100 to 200 balls per exercise, so at least 50 to 100 exercises need to be done on the driving range to have a good basic ability.

A skillful golfer on the average requires around 300 weeks of learning by playing at least 32 holes per week (2 x playing, 18 holes per week) for years. This is a big investment of time, more than 20,000 hours of practice.

The PGA professionals like Tiger Woods always hit hundreds of balls every day and become skillful requires lifelong dedication. Then, someone must be able to control the club’s speed at least 70 miles per hour to hit green proficiently and most male golfers try to reach 100+ MPH swings. This is easier to achieve since high-tech drivers now are able to add the range in accordance with what the golfers want.

Golf is also closely related to flexibility compared to muscle strength, it is evident that some golf athletes are able to hit a golf ball with a speed of 100 MPH by relying on flexibility.
