I agree with those at the end of your post, dobbles. That being said, you can burn more calories jumping rope for a few minutes than in a whole baseball game. So, Goodwin, if the measure of a sport is the physical toughness and energy used, then Baseball is way behind Golf. Yes, hitting a baseball is the hardest thing for the average person to do, mostly because it is moving. But the thing about Golf is finesse. Anyone can hit a golf ball, it is hitting it with precision and correct technique that makes one good at it.
