I'm not the first to note that sporting clays have many similarities to golf. Numerous holes and stations, each with differing distances and distractions. Many use different chokes on differing shots which is similar to changing clubs. The focus and concentration needed during the shot(s) are nearly identical. Flinches are another similarity, though not limited to sporting clays as related to skeet and trap. In golf it is called either flinches or yips. One person "performing", while the rest on the squad or in the foursome are spectators, is the same as well.
I played golf for a few years in my younger days and enjoyed it. Not as much as sporting clays, however. But, if sporting clays had never been designed and implemented I would most likely be playing golf these days.
