Are golfers athletes really
A sample of pro golfers across eras weigh in on whether golf is a mental sport or demands pure physical prowess. Jim Ferrier argues concentration and mind over muscle, Bill Mallon values muscle fitness for suppleness, Rod Curl notes golf requires unique training, and Al Geiberger and Don Bies emphasize leg and overall conditioning. Gardner Dickinson credits both mental and physical aspects as Arnold Palmer’s age is questioned.
