Why is "GOLF" considered a sport?
 

Why?

makes losers that aren't good at anything else feel better.

:1orglaugh

it's not easy to walk a few hundred yards every month or so.

I am no golf fan but golf is unbelievably hard to play none less to be competitive.:2 cents:

You do walk 8k. Plus the swing work muscles.

I disagree. You walk 72 holes over 4 days and put up with the mental pressure associated with having over a million on the line.


Could you have made the winning putt today?



I assume were talking about the Masters.


:glugglug

exactly

Play golf much?

no idea dude.

anything that a black guy plays is considered a sport

Actually no. I have not played a round in over a year and rarely watch it on tv however the Masters is played about 20 minuts from me so I feel I have a vested intrest in it.

golf isnt a sport.. neither is curling

same reason why chess is considered as sport..

If it was any kind of sport they would have a few thousand fans screaming and yelling on a putt.

Could you make a free throw with 20K people screaming at you?

And have you ever seen a football player have someone else carry an umbrella for him because it rained during the game?

Sad?.

juicy,


next weekend i'll take you to the driving range and i bet you fall in love with golf:glugglug


i can picture you finally connecting with the ball and getting your first drive over 200 yards:1orglaugh you'll be addicted after that

thats why its a sport because the dictionary says so

Because if you walk the shit 5 times a week and and swing 250+ shots a week, its better than sitting your ass in front of a PC:2 cents:
:1orglaugh


Do you play golf ?

good point :winkwink:

exactly

Because you get to whip out your putter and sink your balls in a hole!

Like most sports it revolves around hitting it in the hole. But you already have that down pact Mr. Lady Killer!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

juicylinks try to play golf seriously and you'll discover the answer

golf will be olympic in 2008 :thumbsup

Tiger Woods is such a looser....riiiight

because is is a sport, better question might be why is darts a sport!

I play sometimes and love it....but i'm not gonna sit here and defend it because when i was 15 i thought the same thing :Graucho

Don't knock it till youve tried it pal

Just because its not as physical as football, hockey, or contact sports like that doesn't make it any less of a sport. Its still as challenging, if not more so than the others - just less of a physical exertion.

its a stamina game, i know when its on tv i cant stay awake for more than a few minutes

So, because people watching golf have more respect for the players when they need to concentrate...that makes it less of a sport? :winkwink:

I dont even play, nor do have any desire to - but I've been to the driving range, and I have respect for how difficult it is. It may not be as visceral and exciting to watch as some other sports; it just requires a different mindset I guess.

I consider golf a recreational activity not a sport...like shooting pool or playing darts, thats not to say its easy cause I know its not

Golf is for faggots....
A bunch of sissies swinging metal sticks and running after a "testicle" size ball...
Any given tournament, you got 50 country club white boyes pursuing 1 lost black guy, all of them waving their ridiculous metal stick...:2 cents:

That's Real Sport:
