For all you Golfers - GoFuckYourself.com

Someone emailed me this a while back

For all you golfers, and all U sports fans 4 that matter...

The following is forwarded not to offend tennis, basketball, football or
soccer fans. It is, rather, an attempt to put everything in its proper perspective.

Ever wonder why golf is growing in popularity and people who don't even play
go to tournaments or watch it on TV? These truisms may shed light on reasons why.

Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of players being
honorable people who don't need referees.

Golfers don't have some of their players in jail every week.

Golfers don't scratch their privates on the golf course.

Golfers don't kick dirt on, or throw bottles at, other people.

Professional golfers are compensated in direct proportion to how well they play.

Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight when they travel
between tournaments.

Golfers don't hold out for more money, or demand new contracts, because of
another player's deal.

Professional golfers don't deman! d that the taxpayers pay for the courses on
which they play.

When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them or back them up.

The PGA Tour raises more money for charity in one year than the National
Football League does in two.

You can watch the best golfers in the world up close, at any tournament,
including the majors, all day, every day for $25 or $30. The cost for a seat in
the nosebleed section at the Super Bowl will cost around $300 or more.

You can bring a picnic lunch to the tournament golf course, watch the best in
the world and not spend a small fortune on food and drink. Try that at one of
the taxpayer funded baseball or football stadiums.

In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a season, like
the best baseball hitters (.300) batting average) do.

Golf doesn't change its rules to at! tract fans.

Golfers have to adapt to an entirely new playing area each week.

Golfers keep their clothes on while they are being interviewed.

Golf doesn't have free agency.

In their prime, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and other stars, would shake your
hand and say they were happy to meet you. In his prime Jose Canseco wore
T-shirts that read "Leave Me Alone."

You can hear birds chirping on the golf course during a tournament.

At a golf tournament, (unlike at taxpayer-funded sports stadiums and arenas)
you won't hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty name calling
while you're hoping that no one spills beer on you.

Tiger Woods can hit a golf ball three times as far as Barry Bonds can hit a baseball.

Golf Courses don't ruin the neighborhood.

Now, this is a slice of golf history I thought you might enjoy. I never knew why
there were 18 holes before this. Why do full-length golf courses have 18 holes,
and not 20, or 10 or an even dozen? How many of you golfers know the answer
to this one?

During a discussion among the club's membership board at St. Andrew's in
1858, one of the members pointed out that it takes exactly
18 shots to polish off a fifth of Scotch. By limiting himself to only one
shot of Scotch per hole, the Scot figured a round of golf was finished when the
Scotch ran out.

I've played a lot of golf and I agree that it's dead-ass boring.

There are a few good points in that list, though.

so why did you play "a lot of golf" when it has been so dead-ass boring?

Mary, Trax,

MinX · 07-09-2004, 11:12 AM

I enjoy the odd game of golf... make a nice change.. the buggys are probably the appeal tho... as i found out..they actually go faster in reverse!

Magnus · 07-09-2004, 11:48 AM

Plus you can drink beer while driving.!!! Thats why I love golf so much.

kowntafit · 07-09-2004, 12:17 PM

I don't find golf entirely exciting, but then again I've never been into extreme sports.

I like golf but some of those things are bs. Alot of them are true, but things like this are stupid.

"Tiger Woods can hit a golf ball three times as far as Barry Bonds can hit a baseball. "

Hell, I could hit a golfball farther than Bonds hits a homer. Its comparing apples to oranges, and its a lot harder to hit something going 90mph with movement, than hitting something sitting on a tee.

I've been to some golf tournaments. It wasnt really all that much fun though. I would rather be playing.
