Why Do Some People Think Golf is a Sport?
I’ve had many heated discussions with people about the game of golf. Some of these people would say I’ve had heated discussions with them about the sport of golf. Is golf a sport or is it a game?
A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

This is from this week’s PGA Championships:

Which way to the buffet line?

Daly finished in second place after the first day of the PGA Championships. He was ahead of the usual suspects: Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, etc.
The PGA media guide lists him at 5-foot-11 and 283 pounds!

Daly Quotes:
“If you didn’t play a practice round here at Southern Hills,” a local TV reporter asked Daly in a scolding tone, “how did you prepare for this tournament?”
“I’ve been playing the slots over at Cherokee Casino,” Daly chuckled. “Did good the first day; didn’t do too good the other day.”
The next reporter, referring to the conditions, wanted to know whether Daly could “survive four days of this stuff?”
“I grew up around this area. I’m used to kind of little valleys where you don’t get a lot of — you don’t get any air and there’s a lot of humidity and it’s tough to breathe,” Daly replied. “I light up a cigarette and drink some caffeine, and it actually works.”

Just unbelievable how this can be viewed as a sport when morbidly obese people and chain smokers can win tournaments. Don’t get me wrong, golf is wildly popular and dominates in the ratings over my favorite sport of tennis but it’s not a sport, it’s a game. If you think it’s a sport then curling, darts, and poker are also sports.
