Golf can be quite physically demanding, but IMO it comes down to mental strength. For anyone who has played much (I started playing at around age 10 - thanks, Dad - and continued for around 45 years until a bad back put an end to it), the body knows how to swing the clubs but too often the brain gets in the way.
Golf has inspired some spot-on quotes...
“Golf is a good walk spoiled.” is attributed to Mark Twain, but he was not the first to say or write it.
Hall of Fame golfer Gary Player once said “The harder I practice, the luckier I get.” There's a lesson in his words.
A golf course is a bad place to be when a tornado strikes. (My Dad and his best friend dropped their clubs and ran for their lives when a tornado devastated the small Ohio town of Xenia in 1974.)
Lightning is also quite dangerous on a golf course. When asked what to do if on a golf course in a lightening storm, Lee Trevino (another Hall of Famer) said take out a 1 iron and hold it high in the air because not even God can hit a 1 iron.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
