Both require next to no physical athletic ability nor put any aerobic stress on the body. Fact
If golf is a sport, then so is pro gaming

Nah, not a fact.
You're basically saying that wackin it is a sport.

Come out here and I'll pay for us to walk 18 holes on one of the many courses in the area and then you tell me it requires no athletic ability and doesn't put any aerobic stress on the body.
Here's my home course- built into the side of a freaking mountain
Don't know why I'm bothering replying to such a ridiculous post.
Ask NBA HOF Charles Barkley if golf is easy.
A "sport" that is played in khakis and a collared shirt isn't a sport
OP probably can't break 100.
Says who? You?
Look man I know you're probably pissed that your little sister's boyfriend whooped your ass on the course today but take it easy.
Looks like some pretty scenery. Obviously you will feel some tiredness after walking multiple hills, but you also would feel the same if you walked back and forth across Clemson's campus for a few hours. Is that a sport?Come out here and I'll pay for us to walk 18 holes on one of the many courses in the area and then you tell me it requires no athletic ability and doesn't put any aerobic stress on the body.

Just because it's difficult doesn't make it a sport. Calculus, chess, chemistry. Three difficult things that aren't sports
I've never golfed outside of putt putt. At least then when I pay to partake in a hobby it's cheaper and more enjoyable

one of your better ones but still pretty weak

You whack it in a collared shirt and khakis? Gotta be chafed pretty bad.
I don't have a sister, but if I did, and if we were somehow to end up going on a golf date, there wouldn't be a fight, I'm more mature than that
Should petition Augusta to make jerseys mandatory IYAM. Guessing tennis isn't a sport either.
Average course on the PGA Tour is over a 7 mile walk. Dustin Johnson can easily do a 360 dunk.
Smiling Tiger, is that Seattle?Come out here and I'll pay for us to walk 18 holes on one of the many courses in the area and then you tell me it requires no athletic ability and doesn't put any aerobic stress on the body.

This isn't a troll, I'm dead serious. I don't understand why golf is considered a sport. There's no team aspect, no athletic ability required, and no aerobic stress. It's just a hobby for the wealthy to do business over.
I have to agree with OP on this one.
Golf is an activity, not a sport
Golf is an activity, not a sport
Tennis is a sport. It's physically stressing and requires incredible lateral quickness and balance.
Cool, a 7 mile walk. I'm terrified.
Does the 360 dunk have any influence on his golf game? Has his leaping ability ever gotten him a birdie?
Comparing golf to vidya games is asinine. Now, if you want to compare vidya games to nascar, that is something I would be on board with.
Find the video of Robin Williams explaining golf, and then come back here and tell us that golf isn't a sport...golf is the ultimate sport.
NASCAR is not a sport either.
If we're keeping score... No one has produced a legit counter argument to the OP yet.
it's a hobby, and a fun one at that, def not a 'sport'.
It's more of a sport than golf. Fighting the wheel takes incredible forearm strength and the communication between the driver and the pit crew must be impeccable, requiring a great team effort. On top of that, the pit crew has to be quick and efficient, while working as a unit. Hell, now that I think about it, NASCAR actually has the assistants playing a huge role
ever watched Ryder Cup?
Clemson has won several tournaments to start the season. I guess wrestling, tennis, swimming, diving, track etc individual "sports" arent "sports?"
The muscle memory and practice it requires for golf is ridiculous. The mental aspect is ridiculous as well
Those are sports. Each of those requires physical athletic ability and puts an incredible amount of aerobic stress on the body. Team aspect isn't the only requirement of sport, but it does strengthen a sport's classification as sport. Track is one of the purest sports on earth IMO. It's strictly athletic competition.
Not only is it clearly a sport, it is one of the toughest sports there is to be good at.
The course is called Newcastle. Its in Bellevue, Wa just east of Seattle. The city you see in the background is actually downtown Bellevue. Seattle is on the other side of the lake.
Depends on where you are. On a lake? Activity. Down a whitewater river? Sport. You're gonna be worn out after that one
"Aerobic stress" is not a quantifier of "sport".
Do you even know how sport is defined? Or did you create your own definition?
Is spending quality time with your boyfriend and sipping zima considered a sport?
