Re: The Masters
The fact that other sports are harder on ones body doesn't make golf any less strenuous.

Which is why all those other sports, typically don't see many 39 yr olds kicking around, and definitely no 59 yr olds.
Still tough once you get older to walk around in the heat all day for a few days straight, torquing your body like that ~70 times a day, and do it as well as a guy 10-20 years younger than you.

Re: The Masters
If you've ever seen Tiger Woods swing then there is no way you can't call it strenuous.
No one has been more powerful in the game, and his body doesn't appear to be able to handle how he plays, nor how often it's required to play to be in top form.

They torque it 70 times on the course, plus practice swings, plus 100's of times practicing before and after.
When not in a tourney tigers daily practice routine (excluding cardio and lifting - which he did a lot) was something like:
- Two hours of range-work and on-course swing work in the morning, followed by 30 minutes to an hour of putting practice.
-Around noon, play nine holes.
- In the afternoon, another 3-4 hours of on-course work focusing on the swing and short game. The afternoon session sometimes includes another nine holes playing golf.

Re: The Masters
If you walk and carry a full set, it's a good workout, but not terribly strenuous. There's a world of difference between playing recreationally (I play 2-3 rounds/wk) and being a pro. Those guys definitely put a lot of pressure on their bodies, but that's mostly due to repetition.
