1) Tiger Woods. It is mechancially sound, powerful and it never abandons him in the middle of a round. It's also beautiful to watch. Good enough to win the US Open twice (and everything else).\n\n2) Vijay Singh. Another mechanically sound swing that appears so effortless. Good enough to win the Masters.\n\n3) Ernie Els. Mechanically sound, powerful, and effortless. Good enough to win the US Open twice.\n\nHowever, the BEST swing of all time was that of Ben Hogan. Once he figured out his swing it never abandoned him even under the most extreme pressure of major chapionship golf. Watching his swing was like watching an artist -- it was truly beautiful and awe inspiring.

It is a good walk spoiled. It is called this because the walk is very nice on a beautiful golf course. But you play so bad and get so angry that you want to go home and not finish the round and stop walking.

Golf has become the game of choice for business interested people today.  What other event could you do where you can talk openly with another person while waiting for the group ahead of you to clear the green?  Just because it is so widely played by so many people it has become common, not cliche', so enjoy your game and I hope you pick up the tab for anyone playing with you, how about a game next week?  Will you spot me 5 strokes?

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!

how is this a golf question?

Golf (gowf in Scots) is a game where individual players or teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs, and is one of the few ball games that does not use a fixed standard playing area. It is defined in the Rules of Golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules."\n\nGolf originated in Scotland and has been played for at least five centuries in the British Isles. The oldest course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh. Golf, in essentially the form we know it today, has been played on Scotland's Musselburgh Links since 1672, and earlier versions of the game have been played in the British Isles and the low-countries of Northern Europe for several centuries before that. Although often viewed as an elite pastime, golf is an increasingly popular sport that can be played for one's entire life.\n\nAmerican football, known in the United States and Canada [1] simply as football, is a competitive team sport. The object of the game is to advance the football towards the opposing team's end zone and score points. The ball can be advanced by carrying the ball, or by throwing or handing it from one teammate to the other. Points can be scored in a variety of ways, including carrying the ball over the goal line, throwing the ball to another player past the goal line or kicking it through the goal posts on the opposing side. The winner is the team with the most points when the time expires and the last play ends.\n\nOutside of the United States and Canada, the sport is usually referred to as American football (or sometimes as gridiron or gridiron football) to differentiate it from other football games, especially association football (soccer) and rugby football. American football evolved as a separate sport from rugby football in the late 19th century. Arena football is a variant of American football. Canadian football is a close relative to the sport with a few key differences; the word "football" in Canada can mean American football or Canadian football depending on context.\n\nAssociation football, soccer, or simply football is a team sport played between two teams consisting of eleven players each. It is a ball game played on a rectangular grass field with a goal at each end. The object of the game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing goal. Other than the goalkeepers, players may not use their hands or arms to propel the ball in general play. The winner of the match is the team that has scored most goals at the end of the match. The sport is known by many names throughout the English-speaking world, although football is the most common. Other names, such as association football and soccer, are often used to distinguish the game from other codes of football, since the word football may be used to refer to several quite different games.\n\nThe origins of football are thought to be over 2000 years old. Indeed, in 2004, football's governing body Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) officially acknowledged that China was the birthplace of football, when people played the sport of cuju around 200 BC. Association football in paticular dervived out of games played at public schools in England in the Nineteenth Century.

I play golf because it's fun, and you can never be "perfect" so you can always improve. Plus if your into buisness it's a very handy place to talk to possible buisness partners. Also a lot of people play it, so you could meet potential friends.

There is no strict dividing line between a game and a sport.  Golf is a game and also a sport. Any sport will also be a game but all games would not be sports e.g. snakes and ladders or monopoly.  There is more of a competetive aspect to sport. Sports are more physical whereas games can be physical or mental.

because they haven't tried it?? golf isn't really an everyday type of sport that is easily mastered..(let alone one that u grow up with)...it's also because it's what i call a "quite" sport, for many the definition of sport includes beer, loud chearing and chearleaders...

I have noticed that the majority of golfers are older.\nGolf can actually be a good workout if you carry your bag.\nYou will get in several miles of vigorous walking, especially on a hilly course.\n\nAs far as liking a sport? Well?  The challenge of hitting a ball 400 yards, with a club, and doing it in just 4-5 shots is a challenge that is almost addicting, as you strive to make that 'great' shot..\n\nThink about it.  You are taking a ball less than 2 inchs, and smacking it only a few times to get it into a little hole some distance away.  \n\nThe bonuses of golf are the cute cart girls, who bring refreshments, and meeting new people, and a feeling of being in the great outdoors.\n\nAnd the best reason to play golf is you get to break away from your regular chores.
