small balls will take you far

Golf is fascinating, isn’t it?

NO IT’S NOT!!!!

“Golf is a good walk spoiled”

I’ve played it. I was mildly entertained, but I would really feel sorry for any sap stuck watching me score a 54-over.

I can understand that the people living on the small isle where the sport originated didn’t have much to work with besides sticks, small rocks, and a golf course made up of rabbit holes. So naturally the game was a simple one. Unfortunately, Scots wasted entirely too much time playing with their balls, and King James outlawed the sport so the men could get back to their day jobs-archery practice.

Obviously you can’t keep someone from playing with balls for long, and eventually, the sport became incredibly popular worldwide.

But the fact that golf now has its own channel on TV and the idea that hotels are booked MONTHS in advance for the U.S open is simply unfathomable!

What am I missing here? I like playing with balls as much as the next person…but I don’t need to watch other people doing the same thing for HOURS.

    Golf courses are a HUGE waste of natural resources and money, pulling much-needed water away from farmers and residents for a few rich old men to have a nice place to walk.

    Actually, when I see a golf course, I think it’s a terrible waste of land that would be much better used as a rifle range. ;-)

    And, golf courses put lots of fertilizer pollution into the nation’s waterways.

  3. I don’t get it either. I know a lot of people like it, but I’ve tried it and it was BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRING! And I was told I had a natural swing so it wasn’t because I sucked.

    And I thought the golf channel was created for insomniacs.

  4. Marvin: I know! I cant believe all the golf courses in Las Vegas. It must be tremendous keeping all that grass alive in the 115 degree weather. It sucks, but I think people are getting used to the idea of fake grass? WHat kind of rifle range are you talking about here. Dont start shooting stuff!

  5. Margaret: haha. You’re lucky. It takes years for some people to get a decent swing…but at this point the only golf I’ll play is on the wii, in my living room, with other people where its air conditioned, I dont have to embarass myself in front of too many people and I can quit and not get yelled at. I did however recently meet someone who actually RECORDS golf when he can’t watch it. It made me sick!

    Golf. No thanks. I’m not a huge fan of balls, so it’s not the game for me. hahaha

  7. Corrina: I think you just need some bigger balls to play with-like pool, basketball, volleball…
