Strength as is swing speed. John Daly could outdrive everyone on the tour and if you think that is easy take your judgmental ass to any driving range and see how far you can even hit a golf ball, not to mention simply hitting the thing. I get it, golf is not your cup of tea to watch, so don't watch it. But to diminish the skill required to play the game at a high level simply shows ignorance. And don't forget that this guy won a Super Bowl ![]() |
but could he play football better when he was drunk like Daly |
power comes not from strength but putting weight behind the swing. That gave Daly an advantage |
I think we've determined that not only is golf boring, it's fans are obnoxious as well |
Golfs fans did not create this thread denouncing an entire sport. This topic of this thread is obnoxious. |

Only 100 more pages before this thread surpasses the LAX culture thread! |
Me, too. Golfers play each other all the team, same as tennis. They don't need to do it at the Olympics. |
You're thinking is that the other speed sports like swimming and running only race every four years? |
Ask a swimmer or runner if they would trade a world championship gold for olympic gold Now ask a golfer if they would trade a US Open championship for Olympic gold Ask a tennis player to choose between olympic gold and Wimbledon That is the point. |
Golf is a sport, like croquet is a sport.

I embroidery. It takes a lot of hand eye coordination and finger dexterity Perhaps that can be an olympic sport too. |
Maybe! Take it before the Olympic committee! |
I don't know why people get so offended by others saying that golf isn't a sport.
That's great you love your hobby and activity and game, and be proud of that. But it's still not a sport. Why do you take it so personally? |
