I had a charter trip with a well known professional golfer back in the 80's.

Something he said to his admiring throng of fans has stuck with me.

"There are 150 million golfers in the world, and about 150 of us are making a living at it. If you like those odds, take up golf."

The numbers may have changed for that sport, but certainly the 'odds' part applies to any of them.

Professionals at any sport are exceptionally dedicated, athletically gifted, and.... lucky.

Very lucky. Anyone who would rock their own boat is an idiot.

Personally, I'd rather be out shooting than watching others play a game.
