What gets me is all these supposed conservatives...who know in their hearts that riduculous rules and regulations by government are anti liberty

Ditto. It's just a stupid game.

Why get one's panties all in a wad over a stupid game?

Golf, tiddly-winks, baseball, football, hockey, basketball, etc., all just opiates for the masses so they don't pay attention to what's really important.

Absolutely! I used to deliver products to over a hundred golf course maintenence departments. In most cases, if you aren’t talking to the maintenence chief or his second in command, you’ll need to know some Spanish.

To those that golf, I suggest that you wash your hands before eating, after playing the course. They lay down a LOT of pesticides/herbicides per acre.

Well, some people want to do something fun once in a while. That’s fine. It’s just that when it reaches an obsession about something that is really just vanity, that it seems so foreign to those that ‘look for a crown that fadeth not away’. But, the sports obsession in this nation reminds me of the verse: “They sat down to eat, and they rose up to play”.

These people that are good at what they do in sports wouldn’t be rich at all if it weren’t for the media hyping them, making them into ‘heroes’ (as though they are healing someone or saving lives). Folks need to quit worshipping and idolizing these famous people, and realize that these sports/entertainment people have to take a crap regularly just like anyone else.

Mr. Woods is good at what he does because he works hard at it. He probably couldn’t lay down a good weld, smoothly handle a 40 ton semi in snowstorm, or be excellent at any number of meaningful jobs, simply because he’s probably never done them. It’s the real world.
