Exactly. Golf is hard as frick. I'm not discounting that. I'm just saying it's easier to not make a total fool of yourself as an average joe than tennis.

The average Joe golfer probably shoots around 88-90 (by average I mean handicap, which most golfers don't even keep, so its probably worse)

If a 17 handicap teed it up with the pros at the masters or US Open it would be an absolute laughing stock. It would be an utterly embarrassing display. I can assure you they would look like a total fool. By the time the cut rolled around they'd be in last place by 80 strokes. Watching an old duffer not reach the fairway, take 3 shots to get out of a bunker, hitting it 20 yards out of the rough, and 5 putting...is just a different type of embarrassing than whiffing at serves and running around aimlessly, but still quite embarrassing
