Why is golf so hard?

Asked by JHUstudent (692points) May 19th, 2011

Why is the art of swinging a golf club so hard?

Much like throwing a football, shooting a basketball or swinging a baseball bat, it seems to come down to simple mechanics.

Keep your left arm straight. Swing with your hips, not your arms. Put your balance on the balls of your feet. Bend from the hips.

Obviously there’s a little more to it, I’m just summarizing. But why does this seem so much harder to master than the rest?
