In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a season, like the best baseball hitters(.300 batting average) do.

A typical pro golfer only gets his shot in the hole about 25% of the time.

And he isn't trying to hit something moving at 90 MPH, with people jeering him.

I used to hate golf, until I started playing it.

That is a useless "statistic". In baseball, outside of the sac fly or sac bunt, every at bat is intended to achieve a base hit.

In golf, a small % of shots taken are actually intended to put the ball in the hole. And it is impossible to put the ball in the hole with a large portion of shots taken.
