    Golf is nowhere NEAR on the level of Tennis. Tennis requires coordination, reflexes, instinct, athletic ability, etc. If you play competitive Tennis, you're going to actually SWEAT... In high school, I thought Tennis was the most 'active' sport I played aside from soccer. Constant stop and go, stop and go.

    Baseball is a boring sport, but still an actual sport. You have an opponent that uses their athletic ability to stop your athletic ability. Being able to throw 90mph balls for 5 innings, the hand-eye coordination to hit balls, and then... there's actual running. It may be sparse, but beating out a throw to first base takes energy- running, diving to make a catch, etc... all is athletic. Many NFL players could have played MLB. And vice-versa. I doubt a single golfer could have ever played either of those 2 sports.

    I'd compare golf to Curling, shot put, bowling, and Javelin. Lots of lounging, and very little actual playing.

    Though I still say- I really have issues with any sport where you can do better while drunk or old.
