Are you crazy? Or just deluded to your own activity level? I mean, Golf involves the actual, physical movement of your body through space. E-sports involves your wrist/ fingers and eyes moving enough to cover a screen lol. I'm not saying that e-sports don't involve good coordination, timing, problem solving, etc. But to suggest there's More physical activity in them than Golf is a wild, and factually incorrect take on the situation.

Lol I can't believe people upvoted that shit. Besides the fact that you actually have to use your lower body in any capacity to play golf, it also requires significantly more forceful upper body movement. I've had a sore back/hands from golf (I'm sure elbow and shoulder injuries are common as well), never experienced soreness from playing csgo.

Jesus some people out here actually saying chess and esports are physically demanding...

At a competitive level, sure. Anything is demanding. Investment Banking is physically demanding in that sense. But you will burn calories playing golf casually, and won't burn shit playing videogames.

Fuck man 250lb people trying to justify their fat-ass lifestyle saying esports is a physically demanding sport is enough Reddit for today. /u/danhoang1 go for a walk and eat a salad
