Having played NCAA division 2 golf in college (and being in the Top 5), the physical aspect of golf is pretty hilarious. I also played basketball in high school. The difference of the two, which one is more physically exhausting isnt even close. Nowadays most pros are in shape but it doesn't really matter a whole lot. Just look at Overland Parks own Harry Higgs lol
The only time I found golf mentally taxing was when you are on 18th trying to win a tournament and a mini gallery is watching. Poker is much more physically taxing than a golf tournament, and in golf they have caddies telling them what to do.
Edit: Poker is more MENTALLY taxing. But I feel almost just as sore & tired after a 5 hr poker session just from sitting uncomfortably in a chair than I do after a golf round.
