re: What is the most mentally challenging sport?

In golf, 98% you are walking and talking to a caddy that was out in the early morning looking at pin placement and gathering information on the course while you were eating eggs and bacon.

in golf, 98% of players don't have a caddy, mostly just the pros and rich guys. so for a guy like me, there is a whole lot of thinking going on (usually too much)

Point is in golf you are not thinking constantly or even as remotely as much as pitching or tennis.

There is not a single aspect of golf that is reactionary.

I will give the nod to pitching and tennis in one aspect: You can do everthing right and execute your strategy perfectly and STILL lose the return serve or have the ball hit out of the park because you are playing against another human. In golf, if you do everything right and execute your shot perfectly, outside of a bad bounce, you are generally rewarded.
