Considering in golf the movements are not super high intensity and players are usually just walking around or driven around in a golf cart... Also seeing how a 51 year old athlete ( Phil Mickelson) is still amongst the very top in the sport... It's gotta be the least athletic sport on the planet right...?

[Ladiesman72]

Absolutely. Takes no athleticism at all

[Adrianthebadguy45]

I'm not sure if it's number one on the least athletic sport list, but it's definitely up there...

[Whollyunknown]

There's still archery, skeet shooting, and billiards....

[Phoenix-fire]

Probably Chess...

Golf is a sport of eye-hand coordination, and that's about it. You sure as hell aren't running laps to get in shape for it. But it somehow keeps Boomers happy, even if they break their favorite clubs because they can't send a ball where they want.

[Asth123]

Least athletic yes

[jcreasey123]

Darts anyone? Or snooker maybe?

[tetawa9857]

Would be better if they trained smarter

[drippingrain]

Croquet might be even less athletic than golf lol

[Birdieputt]

Golf is a game of accuracy. But it still needs athleticism to get 300 yard drives like the top players do

As a golfer, maybe.  For background I played little league soccer, football for middle school and high school, and basically every major sport for IMs in college.  Picking up golf, I do not think it’s hard to “play” it, and you certainly do not need to have a well-conditioned body to play.  That being said, I’d argue it is a very difficult sport to be good at.  I’d say the most challenging part of the game is analyzing where you want the ball path to be, and be able to control your swing at the right angle and speed, and strike the ball at the right location so that it goes the direction you u want with the spin you want.
