<div>People say "game sense" (49 million hits on google).
And "ball sense" (13 million hits). And there are plenty of
less than professional quality ball players who have good ball sense
and good game sense.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>But ball sense doesn't really apply to golf. It means the player
knows were the ball is going to be and so reacts appropriately, so it
applies to games in which the player must react to the path of ball
(soccer, American football, basketball, baseball, tennis, field
hockey, etc.). (Interestingly, I had never heard "puck sense"
for ice hockey, but it gets a million hits on google and the
definition matches "ball sense".)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Game sense is about understanding the flow of the game, and again
is mostly about tactics and players' ability to solve tactical
problems. Doesn't really apply to golf. It even seems odd to me for
tennis.</div>
