Anyone who has tried to excel at golf would know that it does take athleticism to play consistently. Hitting a golf ball is a very difficult thing to do. So, I would say that yes, golfers are athletes.

yes. we have to work on the mental game, and the game itself.
it looks easy--but it really isnt.
real golfers also have to walk the course--something not very many people do. and of course they're real athletes--golf is a sport in school =]

-Real golfing is walking the course-and that requires an athlete
-Riding in a cart may be convenient(and i ride in a cart sometimes) but all you have to do is drive to ur ball, hit it, drive to the ball again.

Obviously you haven't played golf or you wouldn't have asked this question. Yes they are.
