Is golf the hardest sport on the planet? Why is  this game so difficult? Well, that is questions I   get asked quite often. And in this video, I will  break it down and explain it all to you.

Hello,  and welcome to golf for Beginners Academy. My  name is Nicolai, and today we’re going to figure   out why golf is such a difficult game to play. And  first of all, the clubs we’re using, the club hit.  

It is not very big, to be honest. It’s quite  a small hit. If you compare it to, let’s say,   a tennis racket or something. This is a pretty  small object that needs to hit another pretty  

Small ball. So two small things, and then you’re  swinging the club with a lot of speed. So that by   itself makes it quite difficult to make these  meet in the correct way. When we’re adding the   distance the ball can travel and then we’re also  adding an element of direction. Those two combined  

Makes it really, really difficult because this  one, if this one is not aligned in the perfectly   correct position, the ball is going to go in so  many different ways. So just the physics of the   game makes it really difficult. Then we add in a  complex movement. So we’re actually doing a lot of  

Different movements in the golf swing in order  to make this clubhead hit the ball in the best   possible way. And those movements are not super  easy because it is very much three dimensional.  

So one of the main reasons why a golf is so hard  for a lot of players is that they don’t have,   what should we call it, like a stable axis to  rotate around. So if you see all the best players  

In the world, they will keep their head pretty  steady and rotate around the head, right? So that   means the spine is basically rotating around  your spine. A lot of beginner players, they   will be moving the upper body and the spine all  over the place, which makes it really difficult  

To hit the ground in the same place. But in order  to move your, to keep your spine and your head in   the same position while rotating around it because  we are bent forward, that makes it really, really  

Difficult. This movement right here, just being  able to do this without moving your head is really   difficult because it is happening while you’re  bend forward. If you were standing straight up,   this would be really, really easy to rotate around  your axis, keeping your head steady. But as soon  

As we bend forward, we need to extend our body, we  need to rotate the body and we need to left tilt   the body in order to keep the head in the same  position. And all of these things need to happen  

At the same time and that is also one of the  reasons why the movement is super complex. Okay,   so the physics of the game, the technical part of  how you’re supposed to move your body is really,  

Really difficult. Then we add the, let’s call it  the elements. So the golf course and the weather   elements. So we have all kind of different lengths  of grass. We have different types of grass. We   have slopes that are sloping all over the place.  We have sand, we have water, we have trees,  

We have bushes. So the golf courses themselves  are really difficult. It’s a little bit different   than, let’s just do a tennis court. It’s a square,  and they all look the same. Of course, you can   have the different types of surface, but otherwise  it’s pretty much the same. A golf course and golf  

Courses, they are very different, and they are  designed to challenge you. And then if we add in   the elements of wind and maybe also a little bit  of rain, we can also add the altitude, we can add  

The temperature of the weather. So again, a lot  of different factors that will influence how the   ball is flying in the air. Those things combined  with the two first parts I told you about makes   it even more difficult. Then when we add the  mental game. What is the mental game? Well,  

I can tell you a lot of really good players. They  can hit all of the right shots, but maybe they   cannot hit them at the right time because they are  frustrated, because they’re not focused, all of  

These things. So it’s a very common thing between  golfers that golf is played between your eyes, up   here in the brain, because the mental game of golf  is super difficult, but it is super important. You  

Need to be focused, you need to stay positive and  all of these things during a four, four and a half   hour round, which is really difficult, and you  have no team. So you can’t just go out and sit  

And wait for ten minutes and then come back in.  You’re battling all the time, and you’re battling   all the elements, you’re battling your mind, and  you can very easily get super frustrated playing   this game. And if you’ve been feeling these  feelings, I can tell you you’re not alone. It is a  

Common thing in the whole golf world. I think that  was some of all the parts that makes golf really   difficult. I’m not trying to scare you away,  because I am very sure you can learn all these   things. And, for example, this channel is designed  to help new players learn all of these things  

We just talked about. But remember that golf, we  don’t have any physical contact with other people,   which is really nice and we don’t have a moving  ball. We have a ball that is standing still. So   two things that definitely makes golf easier than  a lot of other sports, tennis. The ball is moving  

All over the place. And let’s just say football or  soccer, people are running all over and you have   to hit them and run around them. So there’s no of  those objects involved in golf, which makes it a  

Lot easier. And one of the best things about golf,  but also the worst thing is that you’re on your   own. So if you’re doing great, it’s wonderful. If  you’re doing bad, it really sucks because there’s  

No team minutes to pull you up. But again, when  you’re doing good, it’s for you and you are the   one doing it good. So that’s a wonderful feeling.  So don’t get scared away. Golf is really, really  

Difficult. I get that. And I’ll say that all  golfers will agree on that. But you can find other   sports that are different in other ways. Golf is  just difficult because it has a combination of so   many different factors you need to take into  consideration. So I’m not sure I can answer  

The question, is golf the hardest sport on the  planet? I don’t want to say anything about that.   It is definitely really difficult in its own way  because there’s so many factors you need to think   about. With that said, don’t give up. I’m sure  you can learn that this game, it is a wonderful  

Game. So keep on going, keep on grinding. Maybe  subscribe to this channel because I’m here to   help you out with your golfing journey. Thank you  so much for watching and see you again next time.
