Golf
Track and field is tougher physically, but golf is tougher mentally.
The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
The golf facet of my life doesn't go with the rest of my life, which is a rough-and-tumble life. I work in real estate development, which is the toughest business, and I do it in the toughest city. I deal with ruthless people.
If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.
Golf's ultimate moral instruction directs us to find within ourselves a pivotal center of enjoyment: relax into a rhythm that fits the hills and swales, and play the shot at hand — not the last one, or the next one, but the one at your feet, in the poison ivy, where you put it.
It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.
