Thread Name: BS: Is Golf Rubbish?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Golf Rubbish?
I enjoy golf, it does take a while to get any good at it. but then less than 10% of golfers ever break a 100, so I hear.
I do enjoy the camaraderie of playing with my buddies, but I dislike how its become a huge business and is geared to make you spend money, on green fees, balls, all sorts of accessories.
It is good exercise as you spend 4-5 hours walking in the fresh air,
unless you ride around in a cart - which defeats the purpose.
On the downside golf courses use massive amount of chemicals, & water
to keep that fake natural look, even in areas where courses are surrounded by desert.
Id rather go hiking, its free, and just as good or better for exercise. (and less frustrating)
