Should Professional Golfers Be Considered Athletes?

                                                                                         

I think professional golfers should be considered athletes, why not? Just because some consider it a hobby, I think it is a sport.
I hear people who do not golf and of course the jokes about just hitting a ball and walking to it just to hit it again say they do not think it much of a sport or the golfers athletes. How is baseball any different or some other sports? I mean you hit a ball over and over again just to run around in a circle (diamond). At least in golf you actually are going somewhere and seeing different areas of the golf course and there are so many ways your hit or hits can turn out, some for the good and some not so good.
I think golfers are athletic, have you seen how much walking is involved and how accurate you really have to be to be considered a professional golfer. Yes I know there are these things called golf carts, but there is still a lot of walking, bending and lots and lots of swinging, some more than others.
