At least there is carnage in bowling, with pins flying around and the crash of the ball into the pins.

The best it gets in golf is a sand trap, or the ball goes in the water. I CAN watch Caddyshack over and over, so consider that when taking me seriously.

Btw, I golfed once. I was terrible. And despite my rant, I have an appreciation for how hard is golf, the mind over matter dimension, and super talented guys. To wit: this Masters' shot that Bubba made is perhaps THE greatest display of skill on the links ever. I saw it live on TV

But sitting through hours of fairway shots etc. to get to one moment of WOW doesn't maximize my utility curve. Your mileage may vary.

That shot by Bubba Watson was great, shots like that happen every week on the PGA tour.

Cameron Smith who just on the British Open shot a 64 in the final round at St.Andrews which is where golf was born. He started the final round 4 shots behind and ended up winning by 2 in one of best final rounds of a major tournament in history.

People are certainly free to dislike any sport, but I don’t understand the need to trash something you don’t like much less watch when millions of other people do.

I don’t particularly care for Soccer, but it’s the most popular sport in the world by far there really isn’t a close 2nd sport and I don’t trash it just to make a point.

All sports are vanity, but golf is the ultimate of it.
