apparently he won..
this is his WiTb from GolfWRX.com I doubt he plays all his irons @ 7iron length. If his irons where all the same length they would not sit in the bag the way they do. |

I'm going to disagree. Tennis is moderately demanding, but I think there are many professional sports that are far more demanding. American football would be a prime example.

Physically ruinous long-term, sure. But in the moment? Tennis is hard to beat in terms of sheer athletic demands.

Well, we’re really venturing astray here, but you got the “football” part of it right. Don’t see too many pudgy European footballers. Tennis is also high up there.

Yes, I think fútbol is also more demanding than tennis. But, since most participants in this forum are Americans, I went with something familiar.

Skill sports tennis, baseball, futbol, American football quarterback where you need to be both physically gifted plus have a skill set developed over time you can survive for longer. American Football running backs are probably the most demanding position in sport. You have an average career of 2.5 yrs. You are essentially a sports car involved in 20 car crashes a game with trucks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0tXisw8Dp8 who can forget the Iowa Football player smacking the pickup on his scooter. Watch how long it takes his flip flop to land |

Nope, only commenting on the statement that tennis is the most physically demanding sport.

Yesterday they showed Bryson DeChambeau and Chris Kirk in a split screen hitting drivers. BD had hit the ball before Kirk got to the top of his backswing.

I'm not sure how football is more demanding than other sports - there's an average of 11 minutes of action in a typical game. It's demanding when there is action. But there's a lot of down time - separate teams for offense and defense means players may be on the sidelines for several minutes, and substitution is frequent. And games are generally once a week (unless the team has a Thursday night game) and it has the shortest season of any major sport (from mini-camp in Aug to first week in February).

Actually, when it comes to skill, baseball is pretty high up there (batting especially, but pitching ain't terribly easy either) but in terms of demands on your body, certainly not the highest, except for the pitchers' arms. |

The physical demands of football are clearly not limited to endurance issues. High speed collisions with 250-350 opponents is extremely demanding on the body. There's nothing in tennis that compares to it. |

Yeah, but somehow, any sport where you break for tea loses some credibility, at least to my American eye.
