Serious question: why is golf a sport?

[dj Ramos]

You better not be talking to me boy.

of course not, i would never disagree with you

Here's a real athlete

I'd bet that he can beat John Daly in a foot race, in arm wrestling, weightlifting, and any other athletic contest.

But it's an activity that involves physical prowess and or skill. Darts is a sport. Poker is not a sport.

i would put pool and poker in its own category, a sport but not a physical one more of a mental strategy sport, if that makes any sense.

darts are fun as hell

Who the eff is this?????????



Its not a sport though, they're just specialists. Like a guy with big biceps isn't really in shape.


He just has big biceps.

baseball satisfies every definition of the term sport.

if you disagree with that then you have to state a better case.

Golf doesn't require physical prowess.

You need a specialized skillset, but so does a typist.

Doesn't make a typist an athlete.

You can play it drunk and stoned. Some sport.

Sport.

Golf is not a sport peeps....

Golf is just like Chess imo....takes great skill. Just because you are exerting energy dont make it a sport. Play chess all day and im sure you will tired.....dont make it a sport

Those guys chew tobacco in the outfield. They run in small spurts every few minutes.

hitting a golf ball 360 yds to the middle of a fairway requires physical prowess.

otherwise, anyone can do it.
