Why does everyone always pay out golf?

Question

The juniors that are my friends are good people, it keeps you healthy, it's good fun I don't get why people think golf "sucks".

Answer 1

Alot of people in today's world can not sit back and relax.  They want fast paced events including sports (which is golf)  

Answer 2

Golf is by its very nature a slow moving sport. There is a lot of down time between strokes. I'd imagine that in a 4 hour round of golf a player is actively swinging his/her club for less than 5 minutes of that time (just pulling reasonable but un-verified numbers out of you-know-where).

Some people can't relax and enjoy the down-time between strokes, so they find the sport boring.

Other people can't hit a ball to save their life, so they just say its a stupid sport and insult people they can't compete with.

Some people think that a game only counts as a sport if you have to break a sweat by running hard. I just ignore these people. To me a sport is any activity that is done for fun and involves some competition. In the end it doesn't really matter what you call it, as long as a person enjoys what they're doing.  

Answer 3

You want to know the people who say golf "sucks" or "it's not a sport"?

PEOPLE WHO SUCK AT IT!!!!!!!

It's amazing how people's brains work when the suck at something.  I know a LOT of people that play golf and a lot that don't.  I've been around the game for years.  I have NEVER met a person who was GOOD at golf and said it "sucked" or "it isn't a real sport."  I argue all the time with my uncle about it being a sport and he is so stubborn about it.  It's so obvious why he feels this way.  He is absolutely the worst golfer I have ever seen in my life.  Seriously, worse than Charles Barkley.  

Answer 4

It's mostly everyone who has never golfed before says golf sucks. Once they try it they say "oh its not that bad" but inside they can't wait to go out again.

Answer 5

Have you ever heard the term " Sour grapes " ? That is exactly why people who are not proficient at an activity will demean it. They cannot compete, or excel so the activity is no good. Keep at it and someday those friends may join you. If they don't that is their loss.

Answer 6

If you aren't good, golf is frustrating. It doesn't take the best of athletes to be good either. Just a good tempo. I love it and will never go back.  

Answer 7

Most of the people who think golf sucks are the ones who cannot play the game.  They refuse to learn something new, and golf takes time to get good.  It is not a ability you are born with, it takes practice and determination.  Either that or they are just a bunch of hillbillies that haven't been exposed to it!
