Is Golf the Greatest sport? Hell No.

But it's my second favorite, and currently it's BY FAR the most interesting.

Disagree? Come at me.

I love the game, been playing since I was 8 years old, it is game that one can play through out their life. Growing up playing team sports like football and baseball was very exciting and fun. I think the one thing about golf is because it is an individual sport all credit and blame is on the golfer him or herself. I know one things professional athletes from all sports tend to gravitate to golf because of the challenge of the game

One of my prior bosses, a very avid golfer, once I asked me if I had ever played, and I said no. He asked why, so I told him.

"I'm not that stupid".

We both thought that was funny....

Football, Soccer, Basketball, etc are sports.

It's a great game when you're playing it. Or if you're there watching. But watching it on TV? I'd probably rather watch a game of chess. Or water draining down a sewer. But the game itself, great game.

Golf is an elevated sport, goes over the head of some.

Jordan Spieth, 11 under at Colonial. Be still my heart.

Tell that to Paige Spiranic. Google her if you aren't in the know.

Go check out the top golfer's wives and girlfriends and tell me it's not a sport. o_O

Paulina Gretzky, Jena Sims lead a long list.

I love golf, just wish I had played when I was a kid instead of starting at 28. I am finally starting to get pretty good and now father time is staring me in the face.

LOL, no I started playing golf when I was 28. wish I had been exposed to it as a kid.

I started to take it more seriously about 5 years ago, taking lessons, playing multiple times a week. etc. I am 51 now, finally a single handicap, just feels like it is only a matter of time before I lose my distance, etc.

I'll say this, it's one hell of a game to be consistently good at.

Got into it during college and when I worked at a nice Country Club in Palm Beach. We could play any of the Jack N. designed courses for free during the summer.
Driving range was free too in the afternoon.
Was never good at it, but it felt good getting some respectable shots in a row before going +infinity on the next one
