i watch it to learn proper/different techniques. You gotta play golf to be able to sit and appreciate the amount of skill it takes.

[eskyhoneybeev2]

anything to do with sport is like that really, like in australia cricket is huge and i find it pretty pathetic that team selections are treated as seriously as the most current terrorist attack in the news,

but entertainnment is the essenese of life i suppose, therefore is big money and important, even though it is not

atleast cricket is a real sport that requires athleticism. golf isnt even a real sport

[sickkyknarbar]

Fuk you golf is awesome.

[guest89]

Golf is a gentleman/rich mans sport.


You mad it does require strength/skill/athleticism to be a good golfer?

[RustyZ32]

OP is an idiot

[kylemundus]

Or why even play golf, a sport where you start out terrible, and can only ever hope to get less-****ty.

Golf doesn't require much athleticism but it does take more accuracy and skill then most other sports.

naww man, cricket is just cricket, nothing special at the end of the day, at least with golf you know you are watching a show of absolute finesse and skill.

edit: and yeah, golf is like any other sport, many guys try to get the absolute most out of their bodies. Surely you have heard the rumours about Tiger and doping? Every player is looking for that extra 10m on his swing, whilst keeping his putting game upto scratch, golf is a trade-off between brute strength and skill, but it is unlikely you can win without displaying both ends of the spectrum

[JAC4146]

golf is awesome

feels good to actually be able to wack one pretty far

[BeachBrah]

yeah i also hate how snobby and more superior people feel because they play golf or belong to so and so country club with members only entrance.

i hate golf players in general they all believe they're more superior


tennis is actually a fun and cheap sport to get into while golf isnt.

dude there are many things that require some skills. athleticism is what makes a real sport, golf requires no real athleticism at all

[MoonTheLoon]

I enjoy the odd round of golf, good way to spend an afternoon

I'll never watch a game of golf on the edge of my seat but i like having it on in the background.

[scotyg]

i usually watch the masters and might catch a few other tournaments. for me its incredibly soothing and relaxing to watch.

i love the scenery too

I played golf on my HS golf team. I'll watch golf from time to time when it's on TV, particularly the masters. It's one of those things you have to play to like.

brb playing a game in the Garden Of Eden.

Golf is an extremely hard game to play. The correct golf swing is absolutely not something that comes natural. It must be learned.

Being able hit the ball 250-300 yards and put it where you were aiming is an extremely satisfying and redeeming feeling. Considering all the damn work it takes to do so.

Now being able to not only hit the ball like that but then be able to shape your shots from left to right or vice versa is another redeeming feeling.

Once you play the game you'll have a whole new respect for professional golf. You really WANT to be there with them. And watching the skill it takes to pull off the shyt they do is fun.

dude brain surgery is difficult doesnt make it a sport. golfers are not real athletes lettuce be real

[SomeRandomName]

Most people who watch golf play the sport. You really have to be able to appreciate how hard it is in order to find it interesting.

Alternative answer: because it's more exciting to watch than baseball.

Look at the new young wave of players and tell me they aren't athletes. You kidding me? They are all in fantastic shape and true natural athletes. Many of them could have played baseball and other sports at the college level but chose golf.

No he can't, at all. You obviously know nothing about golf, because it literally takes precision with every part of your body to be able to constantly drive a ball as straight and far as a PGA tour player.


I tell you what OP. I'll give you 1000 golf balls and if you can hit 10 of them for 320+ yards and land them in a fairway, I'll give you $100.

[Posthardcore]

So a sport needs to demand athleticism?

What about Darts, Poker and Chess?

[my.self]

[daiawa]

Most technical sport in the world (srs)
