Euro target practice
Great question.
I chose art, because I think a certain person can pick up a club and be good. Just naturally good. Has there even been a naturally gifted scientist, without the learning process?
On the course, I think it can be science up to a certain point. I think of Tiger to describe the science part. Sure he's naturally gifted, but look at how many times he has re-learned and re-applied the mechanics of a golf swing effectively.
Then, on the other side, I would have someone like Seve. Sure, in the swing, all the parts are in the right places at the right time, but if you ask him to describe the science behind hitting a 60 yard chip up to the hole, off the slope behind the pin and stiff....he would struggle to give you a scientific answer.
