Golf enthusiasts, few small doubts.   How many types of golf clubs are there? One for long distance, one for short putting? Do they carry their own golf balls or does the event organizer provide them with designated tournament balls?   Do they play the same 18 holes on all 4 days here, or its it 18x4=72 different holes?   Are PGA/LPGA golf courses much larger than this Olympics course, hence with higher par for every shot?

Hideous umpiring. We always get stiffed because we let ourselves get pushed around. Old legacies die hard.

Comparing aerobic fitness of both sports, hockey is much much tougher. Don't argue for the sake of arguing. 

Not really. You need much more stamina in cricket for test cricket. hockey yo yo test scores are high because they are running all the time. They develop good cardio naturally during the game itself. Cricketing stamina is different when you at times have to field for two days in heat in Indian conditions.

Stamina for bowler in test cricket and batsman in cricket is different.  You can have 250 pounds overweight batsman who can bat all day and the. stand at slip or fine leg or square leg (place where bowlers and captain hide their worst fielder)  dropping catches all day. That doesn’t prove you have great fitness because you spent all day on the field.

 

 

Best fitness for me is that of tennis player which is individual sport and players don’t get option to rotate themselves and have to be out there for over 2 hours in a row in a a hot humid

weather. Djokovic being the fittest sportsman on planet earth for me.

Yes, tennis needs great fitness. Regarding cricket, you are not just batting. It's the fielding that requires stamina especially in Indian conditions or Australian heat. In the past, we used to surrender when we had to field 100 plus overs overseas because they lacked fitness, especially, fast bowlers. Not the case anymore.
