Be they goat, duck, chicken or aardvark, they'll all quickly get bored with Henry's bullcrap and run away.
As to the best player in the game. That's tough. The top players today appear to use a lot more maths than those from years ago. They may be able to play the ball closer on a regular basis but I'm not sure if I'd judge them as being better than the play by feel players.
At the end of the day, the best player in the game is probably the one that can putt best.
