If the woman does all the work, sitting on top and whatnot, then ya, I don't mind. But when I am the one who is swing *** like Ricky Martin and licking bush, I think once a day is enough for me. The only time I feel like a woman is after I ejaculated and I completely hate sex after that, for a brief 10 minutes.

northwood beach volly ball or something.
i play golf and do mixed martial arts.
i suck at everything else, unless there is full contact.. and non-agressive fouls are not called.. then i'm pretty good at ball.

Nothing against you AT ALL, but people think golf is so boring and think its easy. I'd love to see some people that say that go on the course and play. Then they will actually see how good Weir, Singh, Woods, Mickleson, and all of them are.
TCC golf tourny
Best Ball tournament, four somes, winner gets some prizes that are donated......

i didnt want to get technical...
i AGREE it does require certain skill to play. i know that. but its the nature of golf that makes it a GAME. its not a sport...1)its all the media coverage that make people believe it to be a sport.
2)armchair athletes, has-been athletes and never-were athletes all proudly proclaim they are "sportsmen" if they play golf.
just cuz you believe its difficult, doesnt automatically make it a sport.
golf is a mind game more than anything else. how can I maximize my drive? how can i use the wind to get the ball where i want it? which club will do the best job for this situation? this places golf in the category of chess. i dont think that too many people would argue that chess is a sport.
others may point out the coordination required to get off a really good drive and the precision required for putting. if thats where golfs athleticism lies, let's get snooker, darts and bowling on the nightly sports newscasts
GOLF IS A GAME. NOT A SPORT.
i somehow dont think that the guy who can do a round or two of golf is in the same physical category as someone who runs 40 km or lifts 600lbs. until golfers carry their own clubs around the course and jog between holes, its a game. you can play 18holes without breaking a sweat!!
also when youre on the greens, why do u see lard asses smoking fat cigars while putting/driving? if the game was physically exerting enough to make it a REAL sport, you would not see that.
btw i dont think the game is easy..but i do think its boring to watch...just like any other recreational game.
need i say more???...

you are mistaken andyboy...
golf is going to be introduced in the 2008 Olympics
the difinition of sport is the physical exertion of energy in a competition setting where pay or recognition is awarded
you are correct that golf is a recreational activity..... but in certain circumstances. just like ANY sport is a recreational game when there is no competition involved.

something has to have a few characteristics to be a sport
- has to be organized
- has to be competitive
- has to involve physical exertion (structured bodily movement)
according to steve's definition car racing wouldn't be a sport.. i men they probably put out less physical exertion than golfers, they sit in the car all day long shift gears and press pedals with their feet...

I've been decent at every sport I tried. Never the best (probably because I never seriously focussed on any), but could hold my own. I have a competitive nature, everything I do is a competition in my eyes.
