Golf is super boring. How the hell can anyone watch it without getting rip roaring drunk?

[rcrush]

WTF IS THE BIG DEAL?

[jobycom]

1. No one does.

You mean you've been watching it sober? WTF? Didn't you get the handbook?




:rofl:

[Richardo]

2. Really! SUCKER!

:D

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. You gotta get drunk

and when someone swings a golf club, you gotta yell real loud:

GET IN THE HOLE!!!11!!

or maybe

YOU DA MAN!!11!!!

Then you are a true fan.

4. I have this aversion to golf that goes beyond "eh, not into it."

I hate everything about golf -- to a point I can't explain it. I mean, I seriously can't even stand to hear about it. Unfortunately my mom took it up and tells me about her "drives" and so forth. Makes me want to puke.

Anyone else have a beyond-rational hatred of golf?

[MicaelS]

17. I do, I effing HATE golf....

Golf courses are the biggest waste of land on earth. I'd like to be the real life Al Czervik (Caddyshack)...

"Hey, I'll buy up your crummy snobatorium and build condos on it!"

Every stinking one of them.

5. I like seeing all that green and the trees - it's bizarre, I know.

I find it kind of soothing, with a bit of a strategy puzzle thrown in. It's all Tiger Woods fault - it was such a pleasure at first to see someone trounce all the country club=type guys...

6. Of course they destroyed a lot of trees and animals to build that golf course

All the pesticides they use on the grass and all the water they waste to keep the grass green for rich douches.

7. I heard once that under bush2 they began to count Golf course water hazards as wetlands

...as well as all the retention ponds and harrow pits/drainage ditches in other developments.

Because of this it looks as if he added to wetland preservation. When in truth "real" wetlands, as you'd think of wetlands, were filled in and developed at an unprecedented rate.

[tigereye]

14. yeah, there's no question that it's an awful use of land, particularly in desert

or other areas with little water. There are no real conservation benefits to it, in any way. Plus all the pesticides to keep the grass "pristine."


Well, maybe in Scotland, where courses seem designed to fit the landscape and terrain.

10. When where you are is 42 F, drizzling rain, and windy

And you're cleaning the house, it's nice to see all the green, and at least the play-by-play guys whisper. If the same broadcast crew could do the Laguna Seca vintage races or the Goodwood Festival of Speed, it would have similar effects.

8. "Golf. A good walk ruined." -Mark Twain

So Im told.

[Doc_Technical]

9. Golf is one of those games

like baseball, bowling, basketball, and tennis,
that are a hell of a lot of fun to play as an
amateur, but are (IMO) boring as hell to watch
the professionals play.

[MiddleFingerMom]

11. I'll tell you how.

.
I'll tell you the same thing I told MiddleFingerMomMom when she
told me (she actually DID tell me this), "Gee... you don't drink
NEAR as much as we all thought you did."
.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
.
"MiddleFingerMomMom," says I. "Alcohol and heroin is just NOT a
good idea."
.
A good LONG three-count and... "GOTCHA, MFMM!!!!!!"
.

12. My great aunt loves watching that and baseball.

When I stayed with her one summer, that's all we watched.

[rcrush]

13. I'm sorry.

[smirkymonkey]

16. I am assuming that spending that summer with her accounts for

your screen name. I probably would have drunk myself into a coma if had to put up with a summer of that.

18. How can you get drunk off of golf?

It might be more interesting if you could. As it is, it's merely a great cure for insomnia.

[underpants]

19. You need an excuse to get drunk in the middle of the afternoon? --funny story

When my wife and I were dating she asked "Why do guys find this so interesting?"

Coming back from commercial was a silhouetted shot of Davis Love about to tee off. All you could see was the figure of a man.... with the driver extending down from his groin....all the way to the ground

"OH! I get it" said my now wife
