These stupid fake mostly GOP supporters have the audacity to bring kids to these boring tournaments, most kids do not give a crap about it. 90% of people who claim to be golfers hate the sport and only do it for "status"

Such a fake "sport" that attracts mainly posers and people that have no real income! Golf, a great sport if you are 80 years old and a GOP supporter!
I bet Tiger Woods voted for Obama..

And no, I'm not 80 years old nor a GOP supporter.
Years ago it was an elitist country club sport/game. Not any longer. It is played in urban areas now and appeals to people of every race, ideology, and social class. The OP is an ignorant angry envious loner who would rather sit in a raft in one of the 10,000 lakes then be challenged.

Wow! Another absolute - only the Republicans play Golf!

So, how about all the Democrats that like Golf? Like, let me think now - oh yeah - Barrack Obama!

And, you know all those celebrities that support the Liberal way - MANY of those leftist celebrities play golf too - or, is that wrong?

Some believe Football is stupid. Or Baseball. Or ......

So you don't like Golf - so what? Does that make it bad? It seems that is what you are trying to suggest -

As for the exercise component - I saw some golfers last week, playing here in Arizona (Phoenix area) - temps well over 100 degrees. Walking the course - no cart.

I guess they were all Republicans and they were not getting any exercise either !

Any other foolishness you want to post??

I love watching GOLF on TV while reading something thrilling like "The Dictionary of Geological Terms". They make for a relaxing afternoon. Even watching teaches you that in GOLF perfection is impossible to obtain because even the very best miss and land in the sand traps. I wonder if the game is a metaphor for something.

I usually watch the first 10 minutes of tournament game, fall asleep and wake up a couple hours later to some wooded area on TV and some very polite clapping. It has been happening for the last 20 years

Now the PGA is a division of the GOP? Wow buddy...get some help.


And its a sport in the sense that you are pitting yourself against other players to see who will win. Not exactly an athletic sport, but its a sport nontheless.

Please get informed before flapping those soup coolers of yours.

Perhaps you should simply recognize the FACT that, just because YOU don't like the sport - it is NOT sufficent reason for you to completely CONDEMN and demonize the sport - then TRY to turn it into a policital issue as you did - that was silly

I'd love to see the OP try to make a shot. I'm sure he'd be shooting chili peppers all day.

This topic is in the wrong forum... you can post this in the Sports forum, if you so desire.
