1- golf is the hardest sport because you can play terrible 75% of the time and still win \n2- golf is the hardest sport because it takes the most mental control, balance, hand/ eye coordination, you just cant be strong and fast to do good in this sport.. you have to have finesse and control over every shot and in every situation\n3- golf is the only sport i know that you can play well hung over and play better once you get some drinks in you\n4- great for any kind of business and besides you people everybody loves golf

Unfortunately its your tough luck. The rules of golf do not provide a remedy. Social conventions however vary and allow for possible striking or at least the hurling of expletives in his/her direction depending on how intentional the distraction was.

I have played most field games and at competitive levels in college. I got to play golf only in my early thirty's and this is one of the only regretts I will have in an otherwise fulfilling life.\n The game had taught me many lessons on the course including man management ( Caddies ) that I have adopted to my daily life. Metal resolve and steely nerves in dire situations are the first traits to be lost and Golf has taught me over the years how to hold on to them.\nI do agree that prior to my golfing days it appeared to be an old mans past time, how wrong I was. \nOne has to have skills and physical fitness to get to a decent level of play ( single digit handicap). The only friends who hate the game are ones who are no good at it. They are either too stiff or do not have the patience to learn the skills needed to hit a stationery ball.\nIt instills a great confidence in ones outlook to life and I hope my family also benifit from the game as I have done. \nA definite winner all the way. borring?? how is it spelt?\nNo wonder It is the highest paying sport which can be played by one and all

I think golf is for "sophisticated" people, who have money and patience, and who dress in...their special way. It doesn't involve much sweating, or getting injured, getting cold or wet, like other sports. I personally can't stand it because I don't really see the point of it; you just walk around, trying to choose the best club, the best ball, the best position to aim the ball into a tiny hole that you might not even see if a long way off, and then you drive of in a cart and have a beer in the lounge of the resort/country club. And also, why do golfers wear only ONE glove? It's boring. But, hey, that's just me. Another sport I don't get is cricket, so if you know someone whoknows the rules of cricket, please tell me.

Golf is boring AND fun. Watching is BORING. Playing is FUN. That is the clear difference. The game looks lame, but when you play its a totally exciting experience. Just start on the driving range and you'll know what i'm taking about. Just give golf a try, dont watch it!

All golfer or most golfers will tell you the same thing.  Before they started playing golf they never thought they would play it.  I guess you can say you have to try it to know if you like it or not.  Now if you have some friends that would like to try, tell them to check out www.playgolfamerica.com They have some great programs for beginners at local golf courses.  Link Up 2 Golf is the best.  They do not need to but clubs.  May they can sign up for a free golf lesson to try it out.

I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS TURNED IN A TRUTHFUL SCRAMBLE SCORE CARD IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. I HAVE PLAYED IN MANY AND HAVE SEEN SCORES AS LOW AS 53, THE HONESTY OF GOLF GOES AWAY IN A SCRAMBLE, THEY JUST WANT TO WIN...

Try to use stiff shaft, I used to use Regular shaft but after I have changed the shaft to stiff, I can hit it much \nfurther than before and also straighter, so go can change your shaft immediately.\nHAPPY GOLFING!

Golf is a game in search of perfection. However, there are very few sports in which perfection can be attained (i.e. 300 in bowling).\n\nAdditionally, golf courses have a number that is considered normal, or "par." The idea is to get the least amount of strokes under par... the lowest score wins. \n\nThink about this... there are a multitude of variables on a golf course as well as with any player at any given moment. For example, a golf course may be wet the next morning after an evening rain. You might have done really well on the dry course the day before, however, since the weather changed, the conditions are different and scores will be altered. \n\nAlso, strength and fatigue have a lot to do with a golfer's capability to score well. As with any sport, training is necessary. However, strength may be lost at one point in time because of something simple as a bad night's sleep or in Tiger Woods' case, a father who is ailing from cancer. \n\nAnyways, putting a golf ball in a 3 1/2" hole from 150-600 yards away in one shot is very difficult. There are limitations that humans have... if one person can hit the ball 450 yards, he's not going to be very accurate. However, another person may be able to hit the ball only 300 yards but may be able to get around the green like a veteran pro.\n\nHope this explanation helps!

Starters you can get some great used golf balls at www.mygolfballstore.com they look like new without the high price.  \n\nYou have golf balls for distance - The golf balls the promote distance don't spin as much as the golf balls with feel.  The distance ball will fly straighter but it want stop very well.  The ball is durable.  All you can do is try to hit the ball straight, you can control it like the balls that spin.  \n\nThe balls with feel - Pro -VI types - Since they spin more if you hook or slice you will end up further off course.  They don't go as far.  They will hold on the greens and you can move the ball around better than the distance ball.  Better golfers seem to like this ball.  The better feel and spin helps with chipping and putting.  The distance ball bounces off the club and takes off.

I have a thought on this. I read your remarks and I have felt your pain with various people I've played with over the years. \n\nMy simple rule is this. I don't BS people, there are VERY FEW truly nice shots in a round of golf. Unless someone hits a really nice shot, I don't say anything. \n\nAnother thing on this, if someone tells you nice shot, thank them for it, don't just walk away all proud. If I take the time to tell someone they hit a good shot they darn well better acknowledge the fact that I noticed it and thank me! \n\nOther than that I think it's good etiquette to acknowledge a nice shot, but seriously, unless he steaked it to 3 feet or busted a wicked hooking three wood on the green from 260 yards, I don't say anything.

And these same people think golf and chess is easy to master. We all have our preferences, so don't let them get to you. Enjoy what you are doing and continue to do your best. You can't please everyone.

For me personally, it brings out the perfectionist in me.  I was always good at sports, but golf is the hardest that I've ever played.  I think that is the reason why many great athletes play golf.  Not only is it a challenge, but it is completely individual (so you can't blame anyone else), and it is a lifetime sport.  Its great when you are older because its not a huge strain on the body, and you don't have to be good at it or in good shape to enjoy it.\n\nThink about it:  How many people can play basketball or soccer when they are over 60?  Very few.  Even fewer can play football.  But I'd bet about 95% could still play golf!
