    Soccer has a giant net with 1 guy who is standing in front of it blocking you from kicking a ball about 1/500th the size of the actual goal net...

    Golf you have to hit a ball only slightly bigger than the hole you are trying to get it in, with a club...

    If golf is not a physical sport, then what is it? a mental exercise?

    When a golfer has a physical injury, that can keep them from playing. Things like poker are not in this category, they are no physical requirements, just mental.

    what if a poker player develops hemorrhoids that prevent them from being able to sit at the table?

    If they were a truly dedicated poker player they could do without a chair and kneel at the table while playing.
    Make as many mistakes as you can as quickly as you can. We want to make sure that we make a great enough number of mistakes in a given amount of time so that we can be successful.
