And if you walk instead of riding a cart it's definitely healthy exercise (2.5 miles for 9, 5+ miles for 18), Also Alice Cooper swears that golf saved his life. His Dr. told him that he would be dead from liver failure if he didn't quit boozing. Golf keeps him out of the house for 5 hours every day and the sun. exercise and camaraderie made him quit drinking.

Golf is ver...You overall point is mostly correct... Golf is very expensive, ruinously time consuming, and too hard for most normal people to enjoy. But Many of your arguments are objectively stupid.<br /><br />-So... baseball is "half" of a golf game because it's nine innings. Does that mean football is less than half of baseball because it's four quarters? Neither golf nor baseball have timeframes, you can't quantify it like that, you dolt.<br /><br />-People spend 20% of their weekend doing lots of things that could seem stupid when taken out of context. "Why would you get extra sleep on the weekends? People spend all week sleeping!!!" "Why would you go for a Sunday drive, you drive to work every day, don't you?!?!?"<br /><br />-Your arguments about tee times and club cost also just retardedly exaggerative. You do not have to wake up at 6AM. Many tee times are in the 2-3PM range, and if you want, you can just play 9 holes for a lower price and time commitment. There are also super cheap "twilight" rates that allow you to take the course at 4-6PM (depending on the time of year) and play till the sun goes down. Usually you can get 9-12 holes in for around $15.<br /><br />Speaking of prices... CAN you spend thousands on golf clubs? Yes. Do you HAVE to? Unlike your blind assumption, no fucking way. Heard of Craigslist? eBay? This thing called the internet? My bag has no more than $400 of clubs in it, and new golfers can EASILY get on the course for $150.<br /><br />I'm not saying golf is particularly cheap. But it is accessible to many. And if you can't afford it, even at the bottom level, then hello? DON'T PLAY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719546359213487483.post-4734590103038687422014-01-23T11:49:27.550-05:002014-01-23T11:49:27.550-05:00A golf course couldn't be farther from nature....A golf course couldn't be farther from nature.

I've played basketball and football endlessly with friends over the years, but golf is so much more demanding in terms of precise body movement and intelligence. One extremely minor mistake and the ball can be wildly mishit. If you think golf is a sissy sport then you obviously haven't tried to play. Anybody who has played knows how tremendously difficult it is to hit a powerful and accurate shot. If you think it's boring, then don't watch it.
