No, but they’re specially tuned to always seek water. I could hit a pond behind the tee somehow, that’s why I stuck with flying.

Use your golf clubs on your flight instructor, because you don't
have any use for either of them, really. And remember, even
if you don't play golf, you can still wear the pants:

We took our son (who is a jock) to play golf for the first time when he was 11 years old.
He hit the ball off the T and it arced up beautifully and it landed a few feet from the flag a few hundred yards away. He pretty much did that most of the holes and beat both of us by a substantial amount. Talent can't necessarily be taught.

People are different. It's fashionable to pretend they are not, but ...
I have no artistic talent whatsover. Zero. None.
It is a waste of time to push on a rope. Figure out what you're naturally
good at, then hammer on it, as hard as you can. Enjoy it. Get really
good at it. World class.
Don't try to be what you're not.
I remember riding with some sportbike kids. Some very good, some
very bad. One guy crashed all the time. Nutbar, he was called. You
could see how awkward he was, on the bike. It was so sad, because
he so badly wanted to be a good rider - it was important to him - but
there was just something missing.
I know a guy with an ATP. Has more money than I ever will. Really
smart guy. But no stick and rudder ability whatsoever. Struggles
landing a Decathlon, which is the easiest taildragger to land, that I
can think of. Really sad, but that's just the way he's wired. Aviation
is so important to him, but it's just not going to happen.
Reminds me of spectator sports. I have zero interest, because it
doesn't involve me. If I can't be the best at something, I don't do
it. That's why I only do three things: fly, code and screw.

But of the three, which are you best and worst at.
