In fact I think I've only seen one "fat' pro, John Daly. He has so much natural talent, that he didn't need to take care of himself. I remember seeing him with the shakes holding a soda on the 18th green as he was withdrawing from alcohol abuse. He didn't last long in that kind of shape. I heard an interview with him on NPR not long ago and he mentioned an exchange he had with Tiger Woods. He said something to Tiger about him always working out and practicing and Tiger replied with, "Well John, we all don't have the talent you have."
Tell me my aching arms and legs that Golf isn't a sport with physical demands. Just because you don't have to run a thousand miles an hour and slam into people, doesn't make it any less of a sport.

Millions try it, and nearly everyone suck at it. We all try to get better, but we know that it is incredibly tough to get half way decent. Even most of the people that say they are pretty good, suck.
To get to Tiger's level (mentally, physically, and skills-wise) is so tough.
If we spent the same time practicing as he had, I really do not think we would at his level; he is unique.
If you do not get golf, sorry but it is a great game; if not the greatest.
