    Golf isn't a sport any more than darts or curling. :lol:

    I enjoy Boxing and I enjoy to watch it as well!

    I dont mind watching the football but its got to be an intresting mat6ch to watch and not a boring one! Where its slow I like a fast match with loads of goals!

    I dont support a particular team really! :D

    Baws !!

    Tiger Woods is arguably one of the greatest sportsmen to ever grace the planet! Works harder than any F1 driver.

    I mean come on - Jenso Button or whatever - hardly a person you can call a sportsmen. More a rich boy who gets to drive fast cars, nothing more. :lol:

    Mate I played it when I was younger and very nearly decided to try and turn professional until I realised to be successful I wasn't good enough and didn't have the dedication to practice every spare minute I had.

    It's a great sport that can be enjoyed by all levels.

    Rob > Tiger woods not only had to work hard enough to be the best at the sport but had to overcome racial pregidous (spel?) throughout America. A black person winning the masters in Georgia was a massive step in overcoming a predigious in the sport.

    He has practiced golf from the age of 4-5 to the present day and works tirelessly in the gym and on the practice area trying to perfect his sport.

    How can you on one side of the argument claim F1 is a sport and not support golf being one? Seems crazy to me.

    I'm not trying to put golf down, I see that it is a very skilled game and I have a great deal of respect for people such as tiger woods but I just find it hard to think of golf as a 'real' sport due to fitness not being a requirement.

    (4 x 18 competetive holes a week) + (2/3 practice rounds) + (2/3 hrs on practise area daily) + (training in the gym) = FIT SPORTSMEN

    :D ;)

    At home I work in a golfclub and I can conclusively say that fitness is NOT a requisite of golf!:D

    Golfer Colin Montgomire is more darts player than 100 meter runner.
