There are tougher non-contact sports than tennis such as golf, this sport it is known as a sport that requires extreme precision and concentration in each shot, which convert it a high-pressure one without any second chances as the tennis players. Golf has a high load on the mechanical and technical field with an action done in a couple of seconds in which the player will have to take out all the aces from the sleeve in a single shot. Some people could asseverate that golf is by far more difficult than tennis, but the facts reinforce a different outlook. As the veteran golf player, Bob Goalby said “I know it depends on the definition of an athlete, but I think an athlete should be able to run, among other things. A golfer doesn’t have to be in shape to do anything but hit a golf ball…I know the pro golfer generally is not in great physical shape”(Milwaukee Journal Sports).
