[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 136453"] Ladies and gents, I`d just like to get your personal opinions on this game we call golf. This question was brought about by a new colleague at work, who made the cardinal sin of asking me what my "handicap" was. Well, naturally having all of my most important bodily functions in good working order, I presumed he didn`t know the 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt not mention THAT awful 4-letter word in front of Ziggy, or else Ziggy shall be forced to kill you." So my question to you is this: is **** actually a sport? In my experience of all ball sports, the one single constant has always been that the ball generally returns to you. Whether I`m playing rugby, football, cricket, tennis, squash or whatever, when I make a pass, hit a shot or bowl a delivery, the ball will always, but always, return back to me, at some point or another. Not so in ****. I hit the damn ball, then go looking for it in a bush somewhere, find it, then hit it again. Hopefully. Because I`ve actually managed 4 "freshies" on a single shot once. Plus it`s a fecking expensive sport. You try hitting 6 balls out of bounds onto the freeway. Then break your driver, 7-iron and putter, all on the same round, and tell me it`s not expensive. So I`ve basically given up hope of ever understanding why people play this game called ****. If anyone can enlighten me as to why it`s considered a sport, and more importantly, why people actually enjoy playing it, I`ll be forever grateful. Yours faithfully BunkerTragic [/QUOTE]
