RE: Golf vs. Hunting
I've always thought golf and archery were pretty closely related. I always compare the two when explaining things to people. They require many of the same disciplines.
I think golf is MUCH harder myself. I became a pretty decent archer fairly fast. Golf is much harder to get good at. I mean I can play it, but not well. The hole is at a known distance from the tee, but most can't hit a ball that far. I can't come close! And I'm lucky if it stays in my fairway
.
I don't use a golf cart either, I walk. I play a fairly small course though.

I think there both difficult. Just like any other sports the more you practice the better you are. I used to play golf at least 3 times a week, and I got pretty good at it. I live in city surrounded by golf courses, I have roughly 20 courses within a half hour drive, and live within 5 minutes of two more. If I had deer woods this close I probably would be a better hunter. So for me personally I would have to say hunting is harder.

IMO the only thing golf courses are good for is hunting the deer that live on 'em. I don't play. I have just didn't enjoy it as much. Golf courses are so un-natural and man made...just not my bag.

There are always either 18, or sometimes 9, holes.

RE: Golf vs. Hunting
there's a bit more at stake with bowhunting. you miss a shot in golf, you get another and no big deal. you miss a shot with a bow, your done at best - you have a wounded deer at worst.I like both and there are some interesting similarities, but when it comes down to it they aredifferent at the core.
