    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (jonesboyz @ Aug 27 2006, 10:45 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Of course it's a sport. It requires arm strength to stay competitive with the other golfers when they're driving the ball 300 yards. You can't do that without working out. I just played my first 18 hole round two weeks ago (DON'T ASK ME MY SCORE) And my shirt was drenched with sweat...probably b/c it was 3 in the afternoon and it was 95 degrees.</div>hehe what was your score. and what was par?Arm strength? Just use roids, golf doesn't test, because it's a stupid "sport".

    I don't think it's a sport but more a fun and challenging activity/hobby. Just because it's hard doesen't make it a sport. Math can be hard and it's more a mental game(like someone said about golf on the first page) and there are Mathletes, but is it a sport? No. I know it's hard but if anyone(14 year olds, obese middle-aged men) can play it professionally then I don't consider it a sport. I would like to play it though.

    It's a sport because it's a physical activity but I wouldn't call golfers athletes.
