Could you make a free throw with 20K people screaming at you?

And have you ever seen a football player have someone else carry an umbrella for him because it rained during the game?

Sad?.
So, because people watching golf have more respect for the players when they need to concentrate...that makes it less of a sport?

I dont even play, nor do have any desire to - but I've been to the driving range, and I have respect for how difficult it is. It may not be as visceral and exciting to watch as some other sports; it just requires a different mindset I guess.
