Do you consider GOLF a sport?

**EdgeXXX** · 06-17-2006, 02:57 PM

I would have to say YES it is a sport; and it does actually require some amount of athleticism.

**flashbang** · 06-17-2006, 03:13 PM

have him swing a golf club 100 times per day and walk 6000 yards for 4 days in a row in 90 degrees, and see how he feels on sunday night, then check his score and really rub it in

I'd take a loose definition of "sport" as being a competition between two (or more) individuals / teams competing against each other that eventually recognizes a winner.

So I guess almost anything, in my opinion, matching the above would be a sport -- as long as there's not ties in the eventual ending of the competition.

**he-fox** · 06-17-2006, 03:16 PM

Definitely a sport. Even chess is a sport. Sports are not only about muscles, are about brains and skills.

**CuriousToyBoy** · 06-17-2006, 03:20 PM

Like I consider self mutilation a sport.

Uhm, that's not good.

Is it something you see white guys getting drunk and talking about? Check.
Is it something you might see on CBS during the weekend? Check.
Is it asinine? Check.

Yep, it's a sport.

**woj** · 06-17-2006, 03:50 PM

sounds like a sport to me...

**Scott McD** · 06-17-2006, 04:08 PM

**crappy99** · 06-17-2006, 04:12 PM

Ties happen in lots of sports. They're still considered sports.

Yea, I was thinking that, mainly in regard to soccer. But, in terms of a current sport, can the world cup end in a tie (I don't know much about soccer) ? Is there a sport where the eventual winner after the competitive season is finished, end in a tie? If so, I wouldn't call it a sport; but that's just me.

**WWC-Pajio** · 06-17-2006, 05:33 PM

.....it's a pass time for me!! not a sport

**Anthony** · 06-17-2006, 05:39 PM

As one, who has never broken 100 in 2 years of playing, I can attest that yes... Golf is a sport.

Punching, kicking, choking someone out, that is all easy compared to Golf.

I consider golf a sport.

Here are my reasons why...

I'm a golfer, but I consider it more of a "game" than a sport.

If an old fatass like Monty or John Daly can excel, then it's not a sport at the same level as NBA basketball or pro hockey.

It's more like horseshoes and bowling, I guess.

your friends a fucking retard, tell him to go understand what a sport is before he starts debating on what is, and what isn't a sport

**MsTantra** · 06-17-2006, 10:57 PM

Best form of competition there is.

**UtahSaints** · 06-17-2006, 11:29 PM

very gay sport and way to make contacts.

OY · 06-18-2006, 12:18 AM

Golf rules, and if you dont play you wont know it. It is not only hard as a GAME, but it is hard mentally, physically and healthwise.

If you suck, it bothes you healthwise - because you will feel like shit if you play bad.

And mentally - you will feel down if your opponent whoops your ass.

And physically - when you walk 7000 yards, up and down, and shoot like shit - you want to not only kill someone, but your legs tell you to "what the fuck are you doing walking 7000 yards while playing like SHIT"

Anyways, I golf and I love it...

**sweetgirl2006** · 06-18-2006, 12:43 AM

i would say yes golf is a sport.

**ServerGenius** · 06-18-2006, 12:51 AM

Take your friends to a driving range. Get 3 buckets of balls each and ask them
to produce 1 250 yard drive before they run out of balls. Then ask them to
play a game of 18 holes.

**Matiz** · 06-18-2006, 01:21 AM

Yes, it's a sport

**soulbleed** · 06-18-2006, 01:21 AM

golf rules.

**iBanker** · 06-18-2006, 01:23 AM

Hands down, the greatest game ever.

**Jakke PNG** · 06-18-2006, 02:24 AM

It's a sport all right. I lose about 4lbs of bodyfluid during a round (I don't drive around in carts, but I walk).

**Choppa** · 06-18-2006, 03:33 AM

Of course its a sport ...look at the excerpt you have given here " A sport consists of a physical and mentally competitive activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these"
