how are golf and bowling called sports, i get more physical activity going pee than i do playing these sports


Golf is a sport because it requires both mental and physical attributes.

Have you seen a nerd swing a golf club? It takes 5 swings to even hit the ball, let alone, hit it well.


bullshit. gold doenst require physical. its a pansy sport. "oh, im afraid to get tackled, get tired running up and down the court, or getting hit and walking my base" - friend of mine. effing pansy's if you ask me.


Yeah, "physical attributes"? LOL? Why the best players are old then? or do you see 20s owning?


As in Technique, Power, Precision, not narrow mindedly thinking about the average conditioning, speed, etc.


its more technique and Precision but its not a really sport like the normal arts of sport we know:D
but for sure its more sport then chess


wait a second chess is considered to be a sport!!!! LOL WOW i didnt know that, so does that make checkers, chutes and ladders, and tic-tac-toe sports also?

dictionary.com has a good definition for sport

sport  /spÉ”rt, spoŠrt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[spawrt, spohrt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

Golf definitely requires skill, and physical prowess is involved. If you haven't played golf you wouldn't understand, but it's pretty draining on your body playing 18 holes if you're not used to it

golf is definitely a sport, my feet and my legs are exhausted after 18 holes. (unless you use a golf cart, lol).

It requires skills, and i have played for 5 years and just passed 10 hcp (9.8 to be exact) and that took me alot of work, both on my swing and my strength.

1-0 to golf vs the nonsport-believers. wink.gif

yea golfs deffinatly a sport... probablly one of the best sports to start out young in because you can play your entire life
and so what if youre not running around and stuff? I wrestle, and in matches i dont run around. Golf is probablly one of the most difficult sports to play because its more about skill and technique than just being strong or what not, and it deffinatly takes dedication to keep at it

I played for 2 years now all i do is just go to the range

Theres a certian part about golf that you have to be born with, i wasnt born with it biggrin.gif

as much as i hate golf, it is a sport. it requires alot of skill to hit those golf balls correctly. just cause its not in your interest doesnt mean u can bag it.

I would definatley call it a sport.
Takes concentration, coordination and skill to play it for sure.

And plus it's very dangerous, havent you seen Happy Gilmore??
