If it wasn't a sport, this argument about relative muscle and strength of men vs. women and whether a woman should play in a PGA event would be totally irrelevant. It requires strength, skill and coordination.
It also requires a certain degree of endurance, because you also are required to walk the course which generally translates into a few miles, on top of all the other stuff you have to do, which does require that you be at least in decent shape.
Why do you think there was such an outcry about Casey Martin and whether he should be allowed to use a cart or not. It's a sport, period.
However, I differ in your assertion that all sports require an attendant amount of brains. If you need an example, look at Mike Tyson, for chrissakes.
