Man up and play in the rain. Wear waterproof gear and get out and play. Everyone can play golf on a sunny day. If you want to be called athletes get out in the rain and hit some balls.

The same as MLB do?Comment -
Course will get torn up. Same reason they don't play baseball.Comment -
Yeah, and let the fans holler and scream all the time. Batters are facing 95 MPH pitches with the crowd roaring, the wave going on in the stands, some drunk in the first row hollering out less than flattering remarks about their wife, yet a golfer acts like he's been violated if someone's camera clicks while they're addressing the ball

here we go again....
Golf is a sport or not a sport based upon your definition of sport... its all semantics.... according to the webster's dictionary entry.... Golf IS a sport.....
but for me and most other red blooded western males...we don't consider it a sport on par with more grueling endeavors....
in any event I may be a better athlete, stronger, faster, quicker than 95% of golfers... but they have skills I don't and they can make a living off it.... God bless emComment -
Baseball is different. You have to run the bases at full speed or run to catch flyballs. Also you need the grass to take out guys from the outfield trying to score on singles or doubles.Originally posted by englishmike
You only have to walk in golf and you take 5 minutes between each stroke.Comment -
Exactly. Bunch of wussies. Wear ear plugs if you don't like being heckled or love quiet time before each stroke.Originally posted by Willie BeeYeah, and let the fans holler and scream all the time.

Typical moron argument for why something is a sport:
"It's hard to do"
So is sucking your own cock; is that a sport? RogueScholar, we want your input hereComment -
Poker is not a sport.Comment -
we still need an operational definition of sport......Comment -
The only useful definition of a sport is:
A physically-challenging endeavour where there is interaction between/among at least 2 players.
Now the debate is only whether something is physically challenging. Yes, golf is hard. But you might as well be playing by yourself. Baseball is physically challenging, though in different ways than sports like tennis and hockey.
So, sports are:
football, baseball, hockey, tennis, ping pong, etc. There is strategic interaction in pool but I would argue it is very low in the physically-challenging area.
Non-sports:
golf, swimming, diving, most track and field
Swimmers and golfers get offended here. Just because it takes physical skill (golf) or shitloads of endurance (swimming) does not make it a sport.Comment -
darts is the hardest by a mileOriginally posted by OB 2138Comment -
Stick to math, you clearly never played sports.Comment -

No I wouldn't say fishing or hunting are sports. But golf is.Comment -
OB, is darts a sport? If not, then why not?Comment -
Wow that reminds me on June 21 lots of years ago I played 3 rounds of golf in one day since it was the longest day of the year teed of at 7:00 AM finished at 8:00 PM was fun and exhausting dragging the clubs for 13 hours I think I broke 300 for the 3 rounds.
Golf is not much of a sport IMO but betting golf tournaments is OK, it has a horse race feel to it who'll get to the finish line first, unlike tennis where the field starts with like 128 players but you only beat 7 of them to be crowned champ, prefer golf "drama" where everyone has to play each other and the layout of the same course at the same time.Comment -
Darts? If you consider pool a sport then yeah I guess... I have no opinion on darts though.Comment -
didnt answer my question

If you played golf then you know it's a sport. Tiger is one of the
best athleates in the world. I know some will say fat out of shape guys play gollf, and yes they do, however you will find out most of those guy's are athleates.
So me a guy that can break 90 and i will show you an athleate.Comment -
Golf is not really a sport, u try to hit a lil ball through some rows of trees, I mean its hard to do but that doesn't make it a sport, golf/darts/pool are games not sports, Tiger is not a great athlete he is simply more athletic than anyone on tour which isnt saying much, just bc you look athletic next to Justin Leonard and Sergio Garcia doesn't mean you're MJ.
Golf is a game of accuracy rather than athleticism, u just walk up to the ball take 2 mins lining up then try to swing like you've been practicing for 8 hrs a day for the last 30 years if you're a tour pro, that's not athleticism its not like the ball moves or there's defenders its just repetition like in pool or darts or shooting free throws, there's many great athletes who suck at shooting free throws, they would likely be terrible golfersComment -
Golf might be the hardest sport to conquer
NFL QB is the hardestComment -
