I could not say why golf was so much more difficult for me, long lever arm of the club magnifies small errors perhaps.

You have faced all star (let alone hall of fame) caliber big league pitching before?

Now imagine a 100+ MPH fastball with some movement that runs in at you at the last second. DUCK!!!
LOL, i realized at the high school level that hitting was not a skill i was ever going to make a living on. Hehehe.
BTW, YES, HITTING BIG LEAGUE PITCHING IS THE HARDEST SKILL IN SPORTS

No aspect of golf even made the top 10.
According to ESPN, the hardest sport in general is boxing.
They rank baseball (in general) the 9th most difficult, and golf
54th.

So anyway, that's who "They" are.
