Agreed,

They should invited me. Just to put the performance in perspective.

Golf has the huge benefit of including a lot of shots at top level that even the amateur can match. Where they differentiate is in the consistency and in the authority in the ball striking. But a keen amateur will produce as good results on quite a few strokes during a good round. It's fascinating.

It is fascinating to watch cross country skiers too. (I'm from the home country of skiing). Or track runners. Or swimmers. Or syclists. But the speed they produce is something most people have a huge problem of identifying with - even if they take 5 years off and just practice. I usually tell my non-golfing friends that golf is THE game for people with the athletic future behind them. Of course knowing that this is a beautiful lie.
