I guess hockey and football aren't sports either:

DAMNIT, STOP POKING HOLES IN MY THEORY !!!!!!!11

Sad but true. I would have thought you would have gone with the Nick loves being poked pun there.

John Daly is living proof that you don't need to be an athlete to play golf. The millions of fat, rich, old bastards that play everyday are living proof as well.

Golf is a skill sport, much like bowling. You don't need to be an athlete to play, but it does help if you are.

John Daily does cross the line.
but 99% of those other fat players RIDE the 18 not walk.... BIG difference ... no Big Pun intended

I wouldn't call Craig Stadler ( sp ) an athlete either. He's older now, but was always a little on the beefy side.

Sad but true. I would have thought you would have gone with the Nick loves being poked pun there.

My intelligence is slightly above that level.

Sport has been defined by a UNESCO Committee as: ‘Any physical activity which has the character of play and which involves a struggle with oneself or with others, or a confrontation with natural elements’. They added ‘If this activity involves competition, it must then always be performed in a spirit of sportsmanship. There can be no true sports without the idea of fair play.’





Golfing involves physical activity... so does bowling... so do video games... so does chess... so does etc

No one said it wasn't a sport. I just have a hard time thinking of golfers as professional athletes. A lot of these guys are staying in better shape to try to drive the ball further. They get a lot of exercise from walking the course, but not many golfers are in good shape (though most of the younger one's are). Lefty is hardly the ideal body shape of a professional athlete but he's got some skill.

Never played golf, never watched golf and have zero interest in golf.

That said, Saturday there was NOTHING on so I put the U S Open on for a few seconds cuase it looked great on HD. About 1 minute in I see Tiger woods sink a 65' putt

From there I was a bit intrigued and decided to watch, well it kept me interested for the rest of the day and all day Sunday. Needless to say I watched all day Monday in the playoff and I was at the edge of my seat

It was a blast to watch, coming from only watching football for the last 27ish years of my life I was stunned to be riveted by golf

My point was... life is a sport! And all the world's a stage!!!

That sounds like something an old man would say

I just paraphrased Shakespeare... was he old?


William Shakespeare - All the world's a stage (from As You Like It 2/7)

All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players:They have their exits and their entrances;And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.And then the whining school-boy, with his satchelAnd shining morning face, creeping like snailUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,Sighing like furnace, with a woeful balladMade to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,Seeking the bubble reputationEven in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,In fair round belly with good capon lined,With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,Full of wise saws and modern instances;And so he plays his part. The sixth age shiftsInto the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wideFor his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,Turning again toward childish treble, pipesAnd whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,That ends this strange eventful history,Is second childishness and mere oblivion,Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

And isn't that a slogan for Gatorade?
