I would probably agree hunting has a lower "injury" rate. Considering in golf you are swinging a a stick around with a metal tip to propel a ball on contact. The club could strike a person, the ball could strike a person. You could pull a muscle due to the movement. sprain an ankle walking the course, etc. Sure in hunting you could sprain an ankle, poke your eye out on a branch, get hit by your buddies gun, fall out of a tree stand, etc.
I would be more interested in the rate of deaths of the two sports. Again I am sure people die playing golf and I don't mean the 90 year old geezer who had a heart attack while peeing behind the might oak on the 9th fairway. I mean as a result of the sport. I will wager $1.00 the rate of deaths is lower than hunting.
