golf is a fascist sport

[sephiroth JR]

ive never played golf for real in a match, but i somtimes go on the driving range with my dad. As for getting kicked out of clubs for not wearing the right clothes,well i dont have to worry about that because my aunty is the lady captain or something like that i think she's in charge of the womens golf team so im pretty well known round there.i use the club as more of a social gathering rather than a place to play golf ,well i mean ive been living next door to it since i was 3 years old.sorry if i offend anyone but i do think its an adult game not an old peoples game because because that would sound contridicting....ahhh good old theasaurus...lol

Golf clubs have a dress code because they are just that, CLUBS. You need to be a member to play on the course or have to pay if you are not. As with most clubs, there are codes of conduct. Most golf clubs have a dress code, in some it is stricter than others. There will always be the generic rules of No Spikes in the Bar etc. but on other rules it depends on the club.
Golf is not a prejudiced sport and to say that it is is just plain silly.

jesus christ!!! maybe people wouldnt say the games so [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] if they didnt have so many smurfing rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant really see that Jesus has a place in this thread, although apparently his short-game was very good.
There aren't that many rules to golf. Having dress codes and stuff sets a standard which ensures that a good level of decorum may be maintained; essentially, it stops people from acting like total w****rs.

There arn't that many rules. Get the ball to the hole using golf clubs. Those are the rules for the most part. You have your water hazards but that is just a one stroke penalty. I don't really see how there are too many smurfing rules on this one. Almost every other sport has 10 times these rules.

Most other sports have 50 times the rules that golf does. Basketball for example, has a plethora of rules, whereas golf only has a few. I have played both sports, and while I can name 10 basketball rules off the top of my head, I don't even know if there are 10 golf rules.

Like I said. Golf = get the ball to the hole using clubs. Count how many strokes you take on the way there. Give your self a penalty stroke for each unplayable ball. Drop unplayable ball no closer to the hole from where it was unplayable.

Those are ALL the rules.

[Raistlin]

There's also others like what par is, and when you can move certain objects from your path, and marking your ball on the green and when you can tee-up the ball, and...yeah, I can't think of anymore.

There's actually a whole book on the rules of golf, but the average player doesn't really need to concern himself with most of them unless you're playing for the PGA or are in some other big tournament.

If anything, golf can be construed as racist.

Why's the ball got to be <i>white?</i>

So its easy to find. Seriously those things can be a pain to look for especially if you hit into the tall grass. All in all I enjoy golf simply as a fun sport, and a good way to get outside. Also My friend and I will often be the only ones for five holes, so whenever we do a bad hit we can scream profanity at each other from 150 yards away.
You say golf is boring, well try it when some imbecile turns on the sprinklers. We were trying to tee off while dodging massive streams of water.

[edczxcvbnm]

Those are added rules. Unless you do PGA type play it doesn't matter. Par is more of goal to shoot for than a rule.

What's wrong with something being anti-goth?

Yeah, golf is a much better sport than people give it credit for. I generally watch 10+ tournaments a year, generally the last day of them. I keep up with the PGA, though not as urgently as I do other sports. But yeah, it's okay to watch, and fun to play. Even though I suck all kinds of suckiness.

[Makoto-Tribal]

does anyone agree with me, the sport is anti-women, anti-goth and anti-me the sport is worse than Hitler and i think it should be banned

Hooray for Golf!

Um..

I mean..

What bad bad terrible people.
But your really not missing anything, actual golf is quite boring. Minigolf is far more fun and they let more or less anyone play.

Golf isn't a sport...

Golf isn't a sport...

Sport: Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.

It's a boring sport, but a sport nonetheless.
