Golf : Scientific Sport
I think golfing may be the most technical sport out there. You’ve got your scientifically engineered golf clubs and your aerodynamic golf balls with a specific number of dimples. You’ve got the perfect swing as determined by a computer watching you through the lens of a high speed camera able to catch even the slightest quiver of the club during the swing. You’ve got your tees and your cleats and your gloves.
Tell me, in basketball do they film your layup, zoom in on your shooting hand and graph the tomography of your follow through? I think not.
They may care how many stitches are on a baseball, but they don’t check to see if the line created by the stitch is just the right parabola.
And football is obviously not very scientific - get ball, put ball in end zone, hit people on way to end zone, dance.
