They all take confidence. Thing about hockey is if you can skate well, you probably can play to a degree. Basketball you can be in tip top shape and still be uncoordinated and have no touch.

Baseball probably the hardest to hit a 95 mph fast ball. Those guys are the best at it and only hit 30% of the time.

Dont understand the purpose of this pic since the topic is about skill, not athleticism. John Daly won 2 majors including a British Open, which takes a lot of skill. I think to reach the highest level in each listed sport, golf is the easy answer in my opinion. Golf not only takes great physical skill, but also a tremendous amount of mental skill to perform at the highest level. It’s the only sport listed where the fans are literally at times right next to you as you try to perform in a sport that requires intense concentration under enormous pressure. There are golfers out there who can play just as good as the pros on tour but just can’t handle the mental pressure to play at the highest level.

Ever tried to ice skate, while trying to control and stick and a puck, cut, skate backwards, turn on a dime, and shoot with a stick?

Its a lot harder than it looks. Should gear up for fun one day, grab a stick, and try to speed up the ice with a puck and take a shot. Give you a whole different outlook on the skill it takes

That's why I said if you can skate on ice well, you can play to a degree. Every sport is tough but hitting a 95 mph fast ball is the hardest to me. I could practice at hockey and baseball and I'll be able to skate but I still won't be able to make contact on a 95 mph fast ball

Has to be golf .. All other sports either require super human physical skills or some creative chemistry to succeed.

Because I posted a picture of John Daly, I'm obviously not a golfer?

Brilliant.
As always you jumped to the wrong conclusion. The fact that you thought my post was humor was the reason I said you are not a golfer. Had absolutely nothing to do with your post of Daly.

Zit, if you meant your post of Daly was humor I apologize as I thought you meant my post and reasons for picking golf was humor. My mistake.

Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing. Baseball can be frustrating.

Hitting a baseball isn’t that hard if you don’t strike out then you hit the ball somewhere they may just get you out
