did you think anything on this board was more than just opinion?

sorry, golf and golfers bore the shit out of me. you don't like it, don't click on a thread where there's a possibility you'll read something that crams a little sand in your birth canal.

Golf:

From "Jammin' In New York" (1992)

"I got just the place for low-cost housing. I have solved this problem. I know where we can build housing for the homeless: golf courses. Perfect. Golf courses. Just what we need. Plenty of good land in nice neighborhoods; land that is currently being wasted on a meaningless, mindless activity engaged in primarily by white well-to-do male businessmen who use the game to make deals to carve this country up a little finer among themselves. I am getting tired, really tired. I am getting tired of these golfing [expletive deleted] in their green pants and their yellow pants and their orange pants and their precious little hats and their cute little golf carts. It is time to reclaim the golf courses from the wealthy and turn them over to the homeless. Golf is an arrogant, elitist game and it takes entirely too much [expletive deleted] room in this country, too much [expletive deleted] room in this country. It is an arrogant game on its very design alone. Just the design of the game speaks of arrogance. Just think of how big a golf course is; the ball is that [expletive deleted] big (1.68 in. diameter)! What do these pin-headed freaks need with all that land? There are 17,000 golf courses in America, they average over 150 acres apiece; that's over 300,000,000 acres. That's 4,820 square miles. You could build two Rhode Islands and a Delaware for the homeless on the land currently devoted to this meaningless, mindless, arrogant, elitist, racist -- racist, there's another thing: the only blacks you'll find in country clubs are carrying trays. And a boring game for boring people. Did you ever watch golf on television? It's like watching flies [expletive deleted]. And a mindless game, mindless. Think of the intellect -- think of the intellect it must take to draw pleasure from this activity. Hitting a ball with a crooked stick, and then walking after it, and then hitting it again! I say, "Pick it up, [expletive deleted], you're lucky you found the [expletive deleted] thing! Put it in your pocket and go the [expletive deleted] home! Go the [expletive deleted] home, you're a winner!" No, no chance of that happening. Dorko in the plaid knickers is going to hit it again and walk some more. Let these rich [expletive deleted] play miniature golf. Let 'em [expletive deleted] with a windmill for an hour and a half or so. See if there's any real skill among them. I know there are some people who play golf who don't consider themselves rich -- [expletive deleted] 'em! And shame on them for engaging in an arrogant, elitist pasttime."

-George Carlin

Yeah, but just as golf and softball, it can be played drunk. That in affect disqualifies it as a real sport.

Schwarzenegger salutes PGA Sections for California golf events
Schwarzenegger recognized Californians for their involvement in golf.

"Today, thousands of Californians will come together to play the wonderful game of golf," said Gov. Schwarzenegger. "By promoting physical activity, wholesome competition and sportsmanship, golf exemplifies the many benefits we derive from athletics. As a former professional athlete myself, I can appreciate the determination it takes to learn a difficult sport like golf. That is why I am proud to welcome enthusiasts and casual golfers alike to the beautiful Haggin Oaks Golf Complex."
