Question

DO U consider GOLF as a sport?

Answer 1

yes, takes skill and concentration

Yes.

It is different from football, basketball, etc, but it is a sport.

It has health benefits for many people who could not participate in basketball, for example, because of age or physical limitations.

Definitely. If you are a true golfer and try to be good at all you would know the time and effort that is needed to play golf. I play basketball and baseball also and I am good in all of them and I will admit golf is the hardest to play.

Answer 4

yeah. not that i play. but it is.

Chess is a sport =]

Answer 5

By Official Defintion (disregard how they mention "golf")

sport

–noun

1. an --> athletic activity <-- requiring --> skill <-- or --> physical prowess <-- and often of a --> competitive nature <--, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

- well it is indeed an activity, athletic is another thing, but ask someone who plays golf, walking around that course is dreaded

- it takes a tremendous amount of skill (you ever try to hit a par round), it said skill or physical process...the OR doesn't mean it has to fit both requirements

- competitive nature, do i need to explain that one?
