I challenge you to walk a course, say Bethpage Black, with its elevation changes for nearly 7 miles while carrying your bag of clubs weighing 15-20 pounds. Then on the 18th hole, you have to make four precise shots to finish your round.

If you think my comment is "hilarious," then you clearly don't know anything about golf.
