People hate golf because they can't play it and/or don't understand it. Exact same reason why the NHL can't get people in the US to watch hockey. |
Hey lots of people play it and like it. and like to watch it. It doesn't mean it's a sport. It's a game that many people enjoy to watch and play.
Hmmm your post from the Tiger Woods non-transgression thread.

Golf is the hardest sport to play in the world! When you play it at the level as PGA it is a sport, when its a weekend hackfest with buddies you are not playing a sport but seeing who can hopefully break 90 after a case of beer.
I don't see how people don't classify it as a sport. What makes a golfer less of an athlete than a hockey goalie?
