I don't know how many swings I took at the store trying out different drivers. Then the Mrs. decided she didn't want to go golfing so I went to the driving range and hit two large buckets, after that I did about an hour of chipping and putting.....then I get home and guess what my wife wants to do, yep, play 18 holes.

My fucking hamstrings are so tight I can barely walk this morning. A cart is starting to sound good.

[Gozmand]

I don't know what makes me more tired, the golfing or the drinking.

[AlexClips]

There is no course on this planet that should be walked :P.

That's a lot of balls to be hitting in one day though, no doubt.

[erepsysoulperj]

I like to walk but I don't do it when it's as hot as it is now.

I don't play golf but I thought it was all about the fresh air and exercise.

[Aminkaoo]

I don't play golf but I thought it was all about the fresh air and exercise.

Considering all the golfers I've seen, for half it is in fact part fresh air and exercise, the other half is beer-swilling fat guys.

When it's too hot out I usually take a cart myself, but I see little reason not to just walk otherwise.

It's about shooting a score to me.

The fresh air, yes. But you get fresh air even if you're driving around in a cart.

Exercise? Even if you walk a course, you're only walking about a mile and a half. No, golf is about being outside, taking in the surrounding beauty (there is no more perfect a spot in civilized society than on a golf course), and then obviously the challenge of the game itself. Exercise doesn't even factor to me.

As I am not a hot weather type of individual, walking with a hand cart in tow and getting stuck under scorching sun endlessly in July (yesterday, for example, it got to 102 out here) are not my ideas of fun.

[irrascaft]

I think, by far, that's the main reason people golf. People usually don't just play sports for exercise, they actually enjoy playing and competing.

If you're not having fun, or at least trying to have fun, I don't think you should be doing it.

Tennis owns golf.

Sorry fellas. No doubt.

Unfortunately, walking a mile and a half, especially carrying or pulling a bag of clubs around, is actually a good amount of exercise for some people. I feel the same way as you do though. Being outside and away from horns, sirens, and *most of the time* douchebags on their phones, is worth the fee. It's just better out there. Hot weather does suck though.

Hell, give me the blazing sun, a bag of sunflower seeds, a bottle of water and I would be happy all day.

I suppose I am a walker anyway. I have always hated running so having the time to walk some place beating the army alternative.

I suppose I am not civilized as I have seen beauty in many other places that have any golf course beat.

Does sucking unqualify an opinion?

I can accomplish that on a jog...for free.

Why run when you can walk, why walk when you can drive?

You gotta re-read my statement though...I said no more perfect a spot in *civilized* society. Of course if you find yourself at some creek at the foot of the Rocky Mountains where there's not a person to be found for 40 miles, you're gonna see something that no engineer can top. But in terms of developed area? Nothing beats the perfection of a course. Every tree meticulously placed, perfect framing of greens with water and sand, etc. etc. etc.

[HottBrorb]

That'll do pig.

I'm just saying that I think it's worth paying a greens fee now & then just to get away from the noise.

I usually just got to the gym for a couple hours, plug in my headphones and ignore the rest of the world.

I suppose it is a definition think. I have seen developed land that was every bit as well groomed as a golf course. The American/Korean forces golf course in Seoul Korea was groomed on the side of a small mountian. Very well done, appeared to be difficult but my friends golfed it often. Something about a fair way that is 300 plus yards long with a 100 yard drop from Tee sounds intimidating.

I suppose I don't get into land developement and don't really find it attractive. Unless it is in my garden.

The game of headbands, wristbands and fuzzy balls owns golf?

Goodbye, I'm going to go enjoy some scenery designed in 1957.

Be back in about 5 hours.
