Golf goes best with a couple beers, and preferably a cigar.

Drinking and golfing? I love to do both! Matter of fact I was doing both yesterday.

Wait a second...so, are you trying to tell me that there are people who golf sober? Get outta here!

lol my mom's worked at a golf course for the last 19 years. I don't think there is any guy that comes off that course sober. Now the ladies, that's different. And you also wouldn't believe how many cops get super drunk there either.

I can't think of a better time. Drinking a few brewskis and playing the greens.

I can't really say from experience but, I grew up on a golf course (my gramps). Seemed like a great time/atmosphere to get together with friends.

Yeah but it's only called golf because [email protected]**^it was already taken....

Golf (I say this at great cost to myself) is the most boring sport except "curling" on the face of the earth.

As golfers get older the weirder they dress, too. Am I the only one who thinks pink pants and green sweaters are "strange" looking?

The only thing I can think of worse than golfing (or curling) is watching it on TV. The broadcasters, who are a half a mile away, speak in whispers as if they're going to disturb the golfer. It's like listening to NASCAR, where at every turn the announcer tries to build the excitement...except in golf, they try to minimize the excitement.

I always thought that boring is the point of golf. You just kick back and swing a club, that's all you have to do. You don't have to trim the bushes in the backyard, or vaccuum the house, or argue on the phone with your bank, or pay bills. While you're golfing, all you have to do is swing a club. Nice, easy, and relaxing.

As long as you don't care about your score.

I agree it is boring and relaxing just like fishing. As for watching it on TV, Bill Cosby years ago had a great routine that included that, very funny, I can't remember now which album of his I had that contained the routine. It involved him being right up on the TV set starring into it and his wife asking him what the hell he was doing.

I fly fish, and it's relaxing but not boring. Sitting around watching a bobber is boring and relaxing, I guess.
