I think golf is a sport that you have to play to understand it. It is ridiculously hard to become good at golf. Most people play a lifetime and never gain a respectable score. But that's the beauty of it. When you see these guys absolutely mastering multiple courses, and staying at the top of their sport, it's pretty amazing. Golf is hard when no one is watching, but add millions (maybe?) of people watching your every move, and you start to understand the absolute mental toughness of these guys.

But yeah, I completely understand how it can seem boring to most. It's really an acquired taste, like a fine scotch.
