The American public has a hard time watching a man that weighs 300 pounds and is sweating profusely while playing an easy game.  Just doesn't fit with our definition of an athlete.

So the answer would be zero.

Which easy game would that be? LOL.

Really?  Is this an honest question?

You think that golf is a physically demanding sport?  It is nothing compared to basketball, soccer, hockey, etc.  You take a walk around a course...

Unless played in sweltering heat, a round of golf is very easy, Like baseball without the occasional running. Getting a good score is another matter, but physically it's not exactly taxing.

Now do you see why it's exactly the type of person you abhor who's drawn to golf in the first place?!?!?

How about:

Billy Casper -  51 wins.

Cary Middlecoff - 40 wins.

More recently:

Ken Perry, Adam Scott, Mike Weir, Bob Tway . .

It's almost too easy of a question because, outside of golf fanatics, there really aren't that many well known players.

It might seem odd to think that Adam Scott is not famous . .because he certainly is in some circles . .but my co-workers, non-golfing friends, grandma, etc could be standing in line right behind him in the supermarket and would have no idea who he is.

Basically, unless it's Tiger Woods, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicolas, Greg Norman, Lee Trevino or Gary Player - a lot of people will have no clue who they are.

You're talking about non-golf fans. I couldn't name 99% of MLB players or NBA players or virtually 100% of Nascar or MMA "players".

What are you even talking about?  I think you need to calm down there bro.

I wouldn't say it's physically demanding, relatively speaking, but I wouldn't say it's easy either. It's certainly not easy for me, but hey, we can't all be champs.

Why does this easy walk around the course require athletes?

That lead to my "hypocrite" comment. Next time I'll add all relevant quotes.

What I should have said, and I apologize, is "Hypocrites" meaning, the people that THEY abhor ("they" meaning the typical sports fan turned off by hefty golfers) are the people drawn to the sport because of it's low fitness demand. Maybe "ironic" would have been a better choice of words.  I realize you were just playing devil's advocate.

I meant purely in the physically demanding sense.  By no stretch is golf an easy game.  It is probably the hardest game to master at a high level.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
