Golf is a game.

............ and you suck at it too?

No wonder you think it's a game.

Look up "sport" in the dictionary, then get back to this thread.

Whoever these "golf is a game" posters are it is clear they don't play golf or play at it. Golf requires the same athletic movement of all sports involving contact with a ball or puck. The weight shift, the contact the follow through. The difference is, that golf requires those skills at a much higher level of development.

I'm not bad actually. Not as good as my great-grandfather who came in second at the U.S. Open, but I hold my own. I completely understand the skill required to be great at golf, but in my book an athlete is required to break a sweat. If someone can drink a bottle of booze, weigh 350 lbs. and still play professional golf, it's no sport (see John Daly).
