didnt read the thread but has it been established that this is not a sport but simply a game?

Ask the ultimate GOAT, Mr. Jordan’s thoughts. I’d bet he’d lay it down for you real nice and simple.
Haha I’m not sure you could say he “played” baseball but he damn sure understands that is a sport as well.
Baseball isn’t a sport?? And are we talking amateur or professional? I think you’ve been sippin on some syrup lol
no, baseball is a sport. Boring, for fat people, but still a sport. Golf is a game like chess and poker
But you asked if you could drink and smoke, correct? I could absolutely play baseball that way. It would honestly be way more interesting that way.
So don’t confuse casual weekend golf with golf at a professional level. Pros have a 40+ week schedule that includes practice rounds and a 2-4 day tournament (4 if they make the cut). This is all while walking 4000+ yards/round and swinging a club with full rotational torque most of the time. They then pack up and head to the next course and start all over with practice rounds, range time, working out, etc. Very much a sport at the professional level.
there’s a reason one of the best to ever do it is almost cripple at 44.
I thought he was trolling but if not mf’ing THIS
yeah, no, it aint a sport. Just because you do it often doesnt mean its a sport just because you are good at it. Even best at it. Doesnt matter. You need to have cardio for sports, not just being able to rotate yourself 75 degrees
We’ve managed to have a few good weekends of weather and have been going. We had the company tournament canceled last weekend. The guys I play with are in an association and they use a modified Stableford system to speed up games. My partner for the tournament and I obliterated the average score for their tournaments. We’re thinking about joining now lol
I agree. By their definition yoga is a sport.
Golf is a game where you get more exercise than darts.

Played today. Great weather but the golf was frustrating. 85 bc of my short game mostly. That’s the one part of my game that’s not like riding a bike lol.
Me and the bosses are all leaving work early tomorrow to get in a round before they corona all of us lol
They’ve already closed all four of our city courses. We have to go about 30 minutes away to a small town now.
My friend went to New York last week and was advised to quarantine himself at his ranch. I told him I couldn't think of a better place to be. He's playing golf, fishing and shooting a bunch of guns
Haha yeah that’s about as good as you could ask for. He need a quarantine buddy???
I fucked that up. I should've told him I was coming down while he was gone and bringing a friend.
Your short game would be a hell of a lot better after a few weeks there
