There is precious little that is physical about walking a mile and a half or so with multiple pauses over the course of several hours. Perhaps it is more accurate to say there is nothing athletic about golf.

Spoken by the truly clueless. Go out and actually hit a couple of buckets of balls under the tutelage of a pro and you will eat your words about the physicality of the sport. Note, I don’t mean putt-putt, I mean big boy golf.

Golf is mostly played by conservatives so we now know where you are on the political spectrum.

I wouldn’t enjoy the sport if I was crappy at it either.

I used to have to walk 1.5 mi every day in college. I thought it would be good for me (I am historically a skinny-minnie - weight is not the issue). It never helped my endurance and I kept huffing and puffing any time I had to walk around that much, including my 1st real job which made me walk that long from subway to office. It’s not enough of a work-out.

You should just give it up. You sound foolish.

(BTW- an 18 hole round is about 5 1/2 miles of walking)
