Why is golf the most difficult sport among all other sports?

(I have all the solutions and know-how secrets for golf -- and tennis. I can pass down to the next generation who is a good learner and also is gifted.)

1. 14 Clubs: Golf has 14 clubs while all other sports have one ball, one racket, etc. While mastering one sport, you have to devote more than 14 times that effort to master golf; the result is, not what you think? You have to spend more than that.

How so? Among these 14 clubs we divide them to about 4 groups: long, mid, and short club, plus putter. If it takes you 6 months or a few years to master short clubs, once you swing different clubs with different patterns, then within a short time -- 1 to 2 hours practice -- it will destroy everything that you just built on how to swing short clubs. With this in mind, you could hear most of the golfers¡¯ same sayings, ¡°I have been playing ten years, I finally got it and played so much golf last week but now, not sure, I don't even know if I know how to play golf, or I don't know if I can drive the ball with a driver.¡± Most often the golfer is only good at one group of clubs or two groups of clubs. As time goes by -- 10, 20, 30, 40 years to even a whole lifetime, they still even keep practicing and the result is to keep switching the group of clubs. But never ever they can manage a complete set of 14 clubs. How frustrating is that?

2. Blind Spot: Unlike the others sports, in golf almost every full swing encounters blind spots. With this blind spot, it could easily lead you to a lot of different kind of mistakes. So, you have to be fully paying attention. That's why most sports, when you hit or shoot, the audience can use voice or sound to distract you, but golf needs to be in total silence. So, in order to counter these blind sport issues, you first need to develop the concentration power; second, you need to picture the whole swing, gradually can find the right way to see through the blind spot, and pass it with confidence.

3. Extremely Precise and Detailed: We also know golf is the game of consistency -- no consistency, no good player. In order to play good golf, you have to know how to control the ball. Just like a good driver, you need to pay attention and know how to control the wheel while you drive the car. So, without extremely precise balance, tempo, timing, angle, weight transfer, and all the body parts/muscles coordinating together, the result of consistency will not be there. Think about how many times an average professional baseball player hit a homerun, and how many professional tennis players get an ace, and how many golf pros hit a hole in one? Sometimes, they did not even do it once. So, you can see how precise and detailed the discipline golf requests. Life is intriguing; the easiest one could be the most difficult one. The ball did not move, waiting for you to hit it.
