explain golf to me

I played tennis my whole life, but golf seems very slow and time consuming. glorified putt putt or better? or is it purely a business tool, slow enough to have conversations and not competitive enough to be at each others' throats?
 
a country where baseball is one of the most popular sports you cant possibly call golf slow. although both suck :D
 
Golf is so popular because any out of shape pud-whacker can play......plus its a good excuse to get away from the wife/GF is suppose.....thats why all my buddies play....I could tolerate it when I used to get fucked up...but being sober its just plain old boring.

Hit that first perfect shot and come back. It's addictive.
you said the magic word (addict). I'm very coordinated. I was leadoff batter for my highschool baseball team because I always made contact and got on base, then was fast enough to steal second. like I said I played tennis my whole life and always had a knack for timing the serve. so much so my highschool volleyball team had me on JUST FOR SERVING. wasn't tall enough to play a full rotation, I was literally like a secret weapon when they needed an ace. it was kind of a neat role. like designated hitter. got to be lazy. sounds like golf.
 
Too time consuming and slow for me right now. Used to play everyday as a kid. Now im in college and lift alot so golf is a last priority. It is fun to get good and challenge yourself, mostly a mental game so I always fuck up somewhere. Will play lots of golf when I am retired

Gotcha... I've never played a full course... that must take all day!

Did you bring your swamp boots?
 
My dad is psychotic about golf. Interestingly both my brothers & myself seem to have inherited a killer swing as well. Also interestingly, we all generally detest the game - must've had somethign to do w/ the family "coming of age" tradition that as we each hit 13, it was "our turn" to play caddy for dad -- given that we grew up in N. Minnesota, this usually meant trudging 18 holes in freezing drizzle pretty much any time of year.

After years of being around the game both w/ dad and also w/ friends (since I lived in both Phoenix & S. Florida - lands of the PGA), I've found the secret to a good game of golf is similar to a good game of pool:

The more I drink, the less I care, the better I play.

In other words, before you locate the Hole 1 tee, locate the beer bitch. Then you are set.

You should see me when I play pool - don't forget I've got a physics degree - I'm all about angles, F= ma and all that shit. Then it gets really funny when I try to be all scientific & formal about evaluating the best degree of force & trajectory while I'm sucking down another Capt & Diet....

that's good you stayed dry... sounds like a sloppy ending... well, sometimes those are the best kind of endings.

Well, we still did have to drive home ya know.... :verygood:

;)

That's what the caddy is for.

Or consider this - they let you drive the golf cart all over the course when you are drunk, so why not just drive it home?
