But what are these strict guidelines based on? How accurate are they? What is to say a difficult maneuver performed somewhat well is better/worse than a simple maneuver performed flawlessly? Are five expertly-performed ollies better or worse than one satisfactory dolphin flip? It becomes a judgement call.
Golf is not a sport. This is why non-athletes such as John Daly and Guy Boros are professional golfers: it requires only a precise skill, like competitive pen twirling, yoyo tricks, or spelling bees.
Many people instinctively believe that everything that takes talent or skill is a sport, but this is not the case. Competition is a test of talent between one or more people. Sport is a test of talent with athleticism between one or more people. If exhibiting a skill is a test of athleticism, then we are all athletes when we go to work at our respective jobs, and our children are athletes when they compete in a science fair or a pinewood derby.
Are you joking?
The movements need such training and you must also be in shape (most people).
Only the very best of the best can sometimes be 'overweight' by sports standards.
Most of those 30-50 year old guys are beyond jacked and are much more in shape than most of us here.
Golf is underrated for the punishment it does to your body.
Hockey is by far the worst though. Bunch of idiots killing eachother.
