I really love golf, although I suck worse than a donkey with a pitching wedge, but I always feel compelled to point out that golf spelled backwards is flog.

I know I haven't been around long enough to hijack a thread but it's my last day on the job and I feel like wasting time.

The question on everybody's lips is

How can you call golf a sport?

Which, in turn, begs the question

What can be classified as a sport. NASCAR, horse racing, individual vs. team events?

IMO there has to be some sort of cardiovascular/aerobic activity.
Hey, maybe you guys don't even care if it's called a sport or not. Hadn't considered that.

Cardiovascular is exercise. Sport is any activity in which someone competes against someone else...IMHO.

Like Quake!

Hell, forget Quake. I compete when I MUD; it's a sport! And Counterstrike! And I compete with the twits who try to pass me, by trumping their safe-passing-on-the-left rights by just riding on the left! BIKING IS A SPORT!

(Yet another post when I really, really should be asleep. Or just waking up.)

Looks like Webster is pretty generous with their definition.
1a. a source of diversion
1c. physical activity engaged in for pleasure
(I'm skipping over 1b cause the thread might go on an unwholesome tangent)

But then there's definition #5:
"an individual exhibiting a sudden deviation from type beyond the normal limits of individual variation usually as a result of mutation especially of somatic tissue" really????

So I guess I need to let golf off the hook. But I still think there are better ways to spend a sunny day and still have enough money left over for a nice bottle of Cuervo.

Race yah to the bottom, baby!

Yep, thats how they got all of those pretty blue green and chartreuse hostas lining the greens. The sport of propagation, (also, interestingly, enhanced by beer.)

Finally Going Golfing Today, :p

OK, it kinda fits in this thread...
A happy Canadian sent it to me, and it made me chuckle. Fore!

Bummer you have to waste a good day. I feel for ya, man.

Cams girlfriend cut me off in traffic yesterday, when her left blinker eventually came on her wipers came on as well... she shut them off oh after about a hundred wipes. :) only a matter of time
