Maybe Team Golf would be something, a little random twist to other sports as well, i'm sort of tired of seeing the same sports over and over again.
so you don't think soccer is a sport?
rarely do soccer players break bones and even more rarely do they break several bones at one single instant

has a soccer player ever been hospitalized? - if so they were probably faking it anyway like they always do

trust me folks - i've been in this argument before on numerous occasions
i have a answer to all objections

GOLF IS A SPORT!

Any activity you can do, while also drinking beer (i.e. Bowling, Golf, Darts), is not a sport in my book.

i use to play with a guy that would smoke in b/w games of basketball

there are rumors that a professional NBA player was an alcoholic and would drink during half time

during baseball one could easily drink a few beers - a few professional MLB players are out of shape and even more chew tabacco during games

chewing tabacco knocked me on my ass first time a did it - trust me i rather do three shots of vodka than chew tobacco

why is there always such hostility against golf being a sport?

and the funny thing is the two camps are so certain that they're right

I'm just voicing an opinion, I honestly don't overtly mind if it is or isn't a sport.

If I was Scottish, i'd probably back you up right away.

Alas my knowledge of sports is only sub-par, and I shall preferably withdraw my statements, presuming to unleash more posts on musician threads.

You have to have a ball and a team in order for it to be a sport. What part are you not getting here tbailey?

i believe i listed tennis in my original statement
does not tennis involve a ball and no team?
are you willing to say tennis is not a sport?

and golf involves a ball and a team - the golfer and his caddy

Rocket you're soooo cute when you try to argue with me
