Football you can really never master. Ice Hockey is the same every time... Arena skating on ice... Football there is different field conditions everywhere: Snow, Rain, Dome, Wind. I'm not sure.

just by experience, i would have to say hockey, not only cause you have to learn to skate, but it requires the use of an ice rink, which is something that for me atleast, i couldn't practice everyday(money, plus the rinkisn't open for public skate everyday).

I've played golf for like 10 years (since I was like 5 or so), and I'm still only shooting mid 30's to low 40's on the front 9 >.>.

Anyways, I say probably Martial Arts to master it. Golf is too.

Naw I'm not THAT good, I know tons of other people my age that take Golf way more seriously than I do. I do take it seriously, I'm just competitive with it.

Based on that definition no sport will ever be mastered. For soccer you would have to score a goal everytime you touched the ball, Football: throw a touchdown every play, Hockey: goal every play, Basketball: 3 point shots with a foul everytime, etc.

Fencing is the hardest to master sport I have ever tried.

Apparantly you get better with every year, as opposed to other sports where you are only the best at a certain age.

I watched fencing in the last olympics and it didn't live up to my expectations. Half of the points both fencers just lunged at each other to see who could get the hit first- no skill whatsoever when it comes down to that

Golf. You could play everyday consistently for 40 years and still not even come close to being decent.

I know what you're talking about, but when you actually play it, there is a whole different game being played alongside fencing; a psychological game. It's much more intense than in any other sport I have ever seen, and I can only describe it with an old quote: "When playing poker, you don't play the cards, you play the man in front of you" - this is more than true for fencing, except it's going much faster.

Golf.... Golf involves so much, and most people are like "OMG, you have to hit a ball that stands still", well try it. I think it's one of the most difficult sports to get good at, yet the most rewarding to play.
