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.

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.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
