@arringtonjulie really? Thanks for telling me. I'm glad you watch movies. The crazy thing is it was actually a book first. It was written by my favorite author, hence the ''something I once read'' statement that prefaces the quote. Books, reading, listening, and comprehension are kinda a big deal. You should check into them. *hugs*
Tiger once grabbed a fan's digital camera and tossed it in a pond because he said the push of the button interrupted his swing. If that was me, Tiger would be in the pond, too.
it takes one to know one. heard that before?? so please JustA11en, explain to me why countless professional "athletes" play golf out of season, and some during season, and say it is a sport? please enlighten me. that is if you can't since you look less of an athlete than most players on the pga tour. get ur facts right dumbass
also, sorry to burst your bubble again but there are new pga tour players who did played different collegiate sports ie Gary Woodland. so are college athletes not athletes. you need some fucking sense smacked into you
the ignorance in this video is so unbearable it's a crime. how about you look at the world's top players for me and if you can find one guy that is out of shape, which you can't, you will prove me wrong. you are describing golf of old. since tiger, golf is everything what a sport is defined. but you wouldn't know that because you simply dont have the knowledge or willingness to learn about what pga tour players do these days. good day you dumb fuck
@Longshot32 Jeez man, he never said being a good athlete didn't help improve your golf game or that it doesn't require talent/skill. He's only saying that it doesn't take an incredible athlete to be a professional golfer. You also might want to seek some help, because anyone who comments 5 paragraphs of angry posts without a single response just might have something wrong with them..
The ignorance in this video is ridiculous. The definition of an athlete and athleticism is broader than what you make it out to be. Just because most PGA Tour players don't have a 35" vertical/4.5 40 doesn't mean they aren't athletes. The golf swing puts tremendous force on the body. While a fat old man can be good at golf, you don't exactly see that guy on the Senior Tour do you? The best golfers maintain a high fitness level. Don't post videos about something you clearly know nothing about.
@JustA11en aphies that he ran track in high school. Also, the 400lb bench press claim was a joke by Shaquille O'Neal, they work out together. I guess some people believed that.
@JustA11en Sorry this is so late, haven't been on in a while. Anyway, the swinging action in golf is a huge stressor on the the knees. "Published reports from SCORE have included preliminary studies of the knee loading in the golf swing. Using several senior citizen subjects, octogenarians, with a golf swing speed of 65 mph they have determined on average the back knee is loaded 3.25 X body weight and simultaneously 4.5 X body weight when the club is at the bottom." I've read in several biogr...
Tiger is mentally, emotionally, and physically a god compared to you. He works 100 times harder than you can ever imagine, his focus on the golf course and his prior academics are more impressive than anything you could ever achieve and he held a caddie for 13 years. Your weak compared to Tiger Wood's. His accomplishments far surpass your greatest aspirations. He single handedly revolutionized a sport and you think he is losing? your posting vids youtube as he is going down in history champ...
@KyLewis187 Ironic how you post this after he CLEARLY states "Your not your job, you're not the money you have, your not the car you have." ...To me, this guy is more of a champ than that self-loathing "athlete". Well said Allen! :)
@tneatrour Turning left for 4 hours most certainly doesn't require athleticism and there are plenty of out of shape drivers. (e.g. Tony tubby Stuart) I'm not personally a fan of racing but the vast majority of actual drivers seem to be much more down to earth than the pro golfers. One can only assume it's because most of them come from comparatively modest & humble upbringings. Golf has always been a game of privilege & golfers like Tiger clear believe they are ''above'' their average fan.
@JustA11en Golf isnt a game nor a sport. Nascar isn't a sport its a waste of gas for idiots who like to turn left all day. its boring as hell and retarded those are 2 things that are a waste of time AND space
@JustA11en When it comes to drivers, most of them actually are very well off to get into it. You need money, and a lot of it. It's certainly not for the working class, as you'll find most of them aren't. However, as far as it not being a sport, most people are physically drained and sweating afterwards, with sore bodies. They put their bodies and mind through stress. It's far more than turning left for 4 hours. Plus your argument about out of shape people doesn't really stand up, for example....
@dadvocate2011 Using generic references like ''most'' with no supporting evidence doesn't make a statement a fact. Stress & sweat have no correlation with athleticism. Do slobs who hang out in the hood, playing Xbox in the summer, qualify for the olympics? I think not. >:)
The boxer butterbean, looks more out of shape than who you mentioned, yet he is far fitter than he looks. He can go hell for leather for a long period of time in the ring, and give/take some of the hardest hits in the world. If you try to argue that he is not an athlete then you're quite stupid.
@dadvocate2011 Butterbean had an incredibly short boxing career because he had no endurance and horrific conditioning. His only asset was the ability to knock out glass-jawed hacks with haymakers. That's why he quickly turned to tough man contest against novices with little skill and equally poor athleticism. You should do a little more research before citing such weak examples to support thinly supported positions.
@JustA11en As far as Golf. That fits into one of the definitions of sport. There are 2 definitions of sport by the way. The first definition applies to golf: "Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively".
The second definition is what you believe (only believe, you can't prove): "An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively". Goodnight
Can... I... shake you hand? Because you've said something no one else seems to realize that it's not the amount of ever felting money you have or how " awesome " your job is or even the things you posses that defines who you are. It's the actions and personality you take and how much of an impact you left on others that defines you. Material is just that, stuff.
@JustA11en I'm a golfer and i personally dont give a damn if golf is a sport its fun and it pays for my college. If you believe golf isnt a sport than why are you comparing tiger to an "athlete" like michael jordan? One part of golf at any level is silence while your hitting if people make noise he has every right to stop just like every other player. the real "athletes" dont beceause its not part of there "sport" by the way first billionaire "athlete" tiger woods. not jeter or jordan just sayin
Allen - you talk about things in an interesting way. This vid proves it because I could not care less about Golf, even to bash it has little appeal to me. And yet, I found myself happily riveted. Good points at the end!
@JakStavaFel lmao. He continues to blame everyone but himself because he's no longer in contention for any tournament. He's a sad shell of his former self. Even at his best he was never a good person.
your point. Lastly, I am compelled to have you find an 80 year old 300 hundred pound man that can play scratch golf, let alone play at a competitive level. The oldest you will see guys play competitively on the Champions Tour is about 65, and even that is rare. These player also play from shorter distances and the greenskeepers purposely make greens slower and easier for them to putt on. Golf is a sport, and while I see why you may think it isn't, some of your points are quite frankly, invalid.
ard down onto the ball, which he does to compress the ball and get more distance. On the point of how you said Tiger blamed everyone else, I would like you to show me an interview or any case where he did this. Tiger had the same caddy for twelve years, while most tour pros only keep the same caddy for two or three years. Tiger used the exact same type of club since his sponsorship with Nike began, until they created a new design special for him in 2010, (Nike VR Blades), so I don't understand..
I feel like you don't watch golf and don't know anything about news in the sport of golf. Golf involves physical activity, has a set of rules, and is played competitively. These three all fit the definition of sport, so I'm not sure what this debate is for. Swinging a golf club is physically demanding, that's why many golfers have back injuries and caused a great athlete like Tiger Woods to need three knee surgeries. This was caused because Tiger uses a very aggresive swing and his drive forw...
@schonhoff12 You're assertion that Tiger is a "great athlete'' is fundamentally flawed. He couldn't make the team for any real division one college sport, let alone compete at a high level. He's in good shape… for a golfer, which is a distinctly different (e.g. considerably lower) standard & level of competition.
@JustA11en Conversely, your assertion that Tiger could not do these things and is not an athlete is based entirely on opinion, not fact. Therefore, one cannot take your statement seriously, unless of course they agreed with your opinion. Tiger played baseball, basketball, and ran track. He focused on golf because his parents told him he could only focus on one sport and that's what he chose. Saying he couldn't vompete at a high level for these sports is irrational.

@schonhoff12 The fact that he injured his knees playing a game that puts minimal strain on the body (with the spine being the only exception) would lead one to logically surmise that he simply couldn't handle the rigors of any serious competitive sport. Also, de did not compete in any real sports during childhood or high school. That information is a myth propagated by pseudo-informational portals like wikianswers & spread by misinformed acolytes much like the 400 lb. bench press claims.
you probably tried to play golf and sucked so you have to try to diminish skill level and athleticism. after playing the game i realized that most traditional forms of training are obsolete. i found yoga to be the best form of preparation for the game. for mental and physical preparation
This is a ridiculous claim, that just because some people that play golf well aren't athletic (or not to your D-I/pro level) makes it not a sport. The fact is that a golf swing is an athletic movement that requires excellent timing of many parts of your body. Serious golfers hit the gym and are, for the most part, very much athletic. I bet you believe that NASCAR drivers and professional fishermen are more of athletes than them when driving and fishing can be done by the same 80 y/o 400lb men
People seem to think that things have to be contact or physical to be a sport. Golf is a physical activity that has 1) rules, 2) strategy, and 3)physical preparedness. If that ain't a sport I don't know what is.
the more you squat in the weight room the better your legs will get. your legs help you a lot with your power in your swing & again you will hit the ball farther. the more you work on your abs and core the better you will be with your swing and the way you hit the ball. so YES you must be an athlete to play golf. & again I PROVED YOU WRONG. i signed with a division 1 college and i am a soccer player and a golfer. so don't say golfers can't sign for another sport. cause guess what? i just did :)
@Arafac2011 Being an athlete can clearly make one a better golfer. Being in shape, stronger, more flexible, etc, could also improve distance & other aspects of the game. None of the above, or anything you've cited, are "required" to be a good golfer. You are not "most" golfers. Your particular example is unquestionably atypical. There are plenty of fat and/or non-athletic, professional, collegiate, and high school, golfers.
PS
ALL CAPS are rarely an effective means of persuasion. >:)
@JustA11en how would you know what a good golfer is. apparently you think 300 pound 80 year old guys who win 5 bucks in their country club's nassau are good golfers. bitch please. you are comparing pros/college kids so why not look at the best division 1 schools and pro golfers on the pga tour. being a d1 golfer i know for a fact that i do more athletic training than you do. you are just incredibly ignorant about this topic and only addressed stereotypes instead of actually researching
you said most golfers wouldn't be able to receive a division 1 scholarship in another sport. well i just proved you wrong. i have signed my national letter of intent to play SOCCER AND GOLF with a division 1 university, texas southern university. i'm an athlete. you need to be athletic to be a golfer. the more you lift weights the faster your swing will get and the better your control will be and you'll be able to hit the ball farther.
list of other recognized sports: Archery: pulling a bow and string Diving: falling into a pool gracefully Equestrian: sitting on a horse and making it to do stuff Fencing: trying to stab the other guy Lawn Bowls: throwing a ball closer to another ball Motorsports: sitting on /in a vehicle and going around a track Orienteering: getting lost in the wild and finding your way back to society Shooting: hitting targets with bullets Table Tennis: Ping Pong Tenpin Bowling: hitting pins with a ball
@sam19892502 You make an excellent point, Sam. With that said, a few of those examples still require considerably more physical exertion and athleticism than golf. (e.g. diving and fencing)
A sport is a physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively, sports can be done on land, in water, in the air and in space.
Golf is a physical activity, walking is a physical activity, hitting a ball is physical activty. Oh and the use of buggy carts is optional. It has a stupid amount of rules and is competitive. So it fits the criteria on every level. So if you don't like it YOU can lump it!!!
you can fiddle around with any sport no matter what age you are, for example a 60 year old man could play basketball with his buddies, just because they play doesnt mean that basketball isnt a sport. Where is the sense in claiming that? And i still have yet to see a 400 pound 80 year old man who is good at golf. Do u even know what a 400 pound man looks like? It seems to me you are using this just to be controversial and get views because you are not interesting enough to do it on your own
Get you fucking facts straight. "fires his caddy" hes had the same one for the majority of his golf career. You also said that its not about the money its about the legacy in the hearts and minds of others which you claim he does not do but yet several minutes earlier you completely contradicted yourself by saying many golfers are obsessed with him. All of what you say is opinion
@teehowe2 Harder than hitting a 100mph fastball or any good breaking ball with thousands of people snapping pics and screaming at a player? Harder than catching a TD in the corner of an endzone, running top speed, while a bigger/faster/stronger LB tries to demolish you? (while thousands scream and snap pics) Harder than shooting a 3 pt shot over a taller player, with :01 left on the clock? (again… with thousands screaming and snapping pics) There's no comparison in pressure or athleticism.
@JustA11en But hey…. it's perfectly logical that you feel it's harder to hit a ball into a hole, with no time limit, while everyone is perfectly silent and doesn't move. Only someone who has never played or watched a real sport would make such an absurd statement.
@JustA11en hey bud, why do all of those pro athletes ur describing suck at golf. or at least compared to a professional golfer couldnt even come within 20 strokes of them in a tournament?
Like it or not golf is a sport.Look up the offical most popular sports in the world and you'll see golf is there!!!And believe me the people who make these offical lists know more about SPORT then you or I do.
hey you idiot i dare you to play a round of golf and the tell me its not a sport and if you think golfers are out of shape google jhonattan vegas and then tell me
Wow.... if you've never played golf you have no idea what you are talking about. It definitely takes skill. Just because old people play doesn't mean it takes no skill. I'd like to see any person of any age who isn't a golfer compete against any decent golfer. And swinging a club qualifies as physical exertion. Douche Bags. Oh and fat people can play sports too. Not just talking golf. @kewlnsimpguy CC may be fat but I'd like to see you play any position in that "sport" better than him. I'm done.
Plus how is Tiger Woods a loser? You are sitting behind you're computer all day complaining about how golf is not a sport. Maby you should try it once and get out of your litte cave, you look a little pale.
Look up "Tiger Woods sports science" here on YouTube.There are many more examples of how golf is a sport. Also, ping pong and golf is/will be in the Olympics. So you can Fuck off. You are an ignorant asshole. I guarantee you that if you went to a PGA tour event the professional golfers there would make you look like a small weak pussy that you are.
GOLF is not a sport, but in the last video you wore a yankees hat, leads me to say baseball isn't a sport either, CC sabathia is the fattest mofo in the world.
"Golf does not require athleticism"? It is the most difficult sport on the planet. Just ask such athletes as Jerry Rice,Michael Jordan and hundreds of other "athletes" who thought they could make some easy money after they retired from such "sports" as baseball, basketball hockey , football etc.Their "athleticism" wasn't good enough.They couldn't even make it in golfs minor leagues (Nationwide tour. I think if Tiger looked like a young Jack Nicklaus you wouldn't have this colored bug up your ass
@TheNYgolfer Any of them could have been great golfers given time & repetition from a young age. Many people only take up golf when they past their athletic prime, have injuries that prevent them excelling in real sports, or lack the athleticism to compete in anything else . >:)
Good luck with the whole baseless, angry, race baiting thing. Hope that works out for you.
I am planning on going D1 next year in golf. I am an athelete I start varsity basketball and football for my school. In golf tounements you have to carry your bag and be able to make the exact same swing on the 18th hole as you did on the first tee. How many golfers have been very succesful and been in horrible shape? Please Reply
ok im not trying to be a troll here, sorry if it looks like it but, although some golfers have caddies and ride in carts, there are golfers in high school and collage that walk the course with the bag on there back. and as you said where we couldnt play other professional sports. i guarente basketball or football players could play golf at an ameture level.
If Michael Jordan is shooting baskets and it is perfectly quiet, and just as he's mid jumpshot some prick starts talking or snapping pictures obnoxiously are you saying he's not going to get distracted by that? It's different when an entire crowd is screaming, then when everyone else is perfectly quiet and one guy is being a nuisance.
@mikepownzall I specifically said that golf requires skill. It does not require athleticism. It actually takes a great deal of patience to read comments from those who have clearly not listened to what was said in the video.
It also takes a great deal of patience to coach youth athletics & work in the Emergency Services field… so you might want to reassess your stance on that baseless, unrelated, accusation. I find it ironic that a bodybuilder would use a Straw Man argument. Good day, sir.
@JustA11en True true as I understand what you meant now, but unfortunately your still wrong. The Core and legs are activated massively throughout the golf swing. And the stronger those are the better swing you can mend. You have to train for golf. So its a sport.
@JustA11en True true as I understand what you meant now, but unfortunately your still wrong. The Core and legs are activated massively throughout the golf swing. And the stronger those are the better swing you can mend. You have to train for golf. So its a sport. In my opinion.

@mikepownzall Being an athlete and/or improving physical conditioning could unquestionably make one a better golfer & prevent injuries typical with the game. With that said, there are those who are completely out of shape yet still become excellent golfers through simple repetition. There are also a great number of activities, that regular people perform in their daily lives, that require as much physical exertion as golf.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. Be well, Mr. Pownzall. >:)
what else do you not consider a sport... track and field events like discus. Perhaps curling.... chess? Im not an athlete at all and i can throw a discus quite well.
Oh and what about disc golf? LOL that shits a sport mayne
TIger Woods is worth over $500 million - and beautiful women are throwing them selves at him - probably a dozen a day!!! He lives is a gorgeous house (that is paid for) near the ocean!!!! He does what he wants - when he wants to do it!!! Now what else in life could he need? He is HUGLY successful and pisses away more money each day - than most will make in their lifetimes!!!! If that is a looser - SIGN ME UP!!! Andyone that thinks he is a looser is simply JEALOUS - and nothign more!!!!!!
I bet there are a few 80 year old golfers out there that are better golfers than you, and that just comes down to logic and strategy. But there are no 80 year olds that are good enough to be a world class golfer. Unless they have the strength and body of a 40 year old. That the only way. And no i dont think you are hating on tiger, you do.
there are no 80 year olds that are good at golf, much less a 400pound guy. 80yr olds are in better shape than a 400 pound person. I am a golfer, but i hate tiger. I hate the attention he gets on the course. But none of what you said about him is true, except the camera clicks on the backswings, if you pay attention to them it will break ur focus.
There was a great story about Woods talking to Jack Nicklaus about how he handled all the public attention so gracefully. The summary was "if you find it so hard stop playing golf and earning millions of dollars"
i always agree with you Allen ;) and it feels like the old days when i first started watching YT videos, you need to get Italiangufromny to hop on the train of making videos again
so you ARE making videos again. You and Christopher Mast are practically starting a revival I see. :-)
The reason I couldn't make a decent golf fan is that every time I hear Derek Jeter's name, I think people are talking about that dude who was on the sitcom "Evening Shade" ...which sucked. Sorry, Burt Reynolds, but it really really sucked.
I've actually been beating the bushes hoping to motivate a few others to turn those cams on again. I really would like to see some of my faves, from the early days, even if its just on occasion.
Facebook & twitter are convenient but there's still something special about vlogs.
It's funny you mention Burt. I've stumbled across several 80s movies lately & rediscovered how much I liked him & Clint Eastwood as an actors. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Orangutans.
I have been saying to people for years golf is not a SPORT,,, finally and btw talking about cry babies look at that idiot Lewis Hamilton Same thing cry fucken baby
@haveNOuse4aNAME You are correct about his length of employment. Tiger has thrown him under the bus on multiple occasions leading many to believe he would be let go. After the 2010 U.S. Open, Tiger publicly embarrassed Williams by citing his "mistakes" as the reason he missed multiple shots.
Nice shower curtain. That's gotta be hell on a hangover. Never gave much thought as to whether or not golf is a game or a sport - the answer doesn't mean much of anything. But using the points you made, all forms of racing (including NASCAR even if the drivers come from humble beginnings and seem genuinely nice :-/), bowling, fishing, hunting etc. are just games and not sports. I could probably outrun most racers, hunters, bowlers and fishermen - does that make me an athlete?
In other news - you look like a Boston boy with that cap (it's standard uniform in Southie) and I'm off-the-charts annoyed that your tits are bigger than mine. I bet I have a nicer ass.
@JustA11en Yeah! 1 internetz. I shall spend it wisely. I don't workout at Planet Fitness...yet. Dragging my apple bottom ass in joining, hanging onto the hope that a real, non-fru fru gym will suddenly appear in my hood. Not looking good - Ima have to cave into the purple nightmare. I just want a stellar weight room and a treadmill sans the rest of the bullcrap - why is that so hard these days? Maybe I'll take up...golfing in the meantime.
ALLEN YOUR RIGHT AND I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER. I CAN'T STAND GOLF AND DON'T SEE HOW PEOPLE CALL IT A SPORT. MY OPINION ON THE "CRY BABY" HE NEEDS TO LEARN THAT HE IS A "NO BODY" AND A CHEATING WHORE.
i enjoyed that rant. i love to watch the skill involved in golf. you are right though, not much athleticism going on there. a little more walking and whacking than billiards.
@snarkdetriomphe I'm glad you did. :) I never stopped ranting. I just stopped putting them on video. It was actually pretty fun to use my e-stick for some poking again.
I worked 25 years on a golf course, spent the last 5 as Superintendent, and retired 3 years ago. I've seen them all. And it's a game, not a sport, and every bad shot and lost ball is the fault of the Superintendent and the maintenance crew. Gotta love the lying SOBs...
And BTW, I don't golf, never have. I tried it once, failed miserably, decided it wasn't worth the hassle, and just went on with growing grass for a living.
@anmoose I actually used to golf quite a bit when I was in college & was fairly decent at it. I just have better ways to spend my money now. I guess, as a youth athletic coach, I carry a little bit of a chip around because it's a game of privilege. Any kid (regardless of background) can get a basketball, football, baseball, bat, and glove for next to nothing & learn the game. They could never afford even the cheapest Walmart clubs to get started in golf. Even if someone gave them some they won't
@JustA11en be able to find a course that will give them a free tee time. It's not that every golfer is a snob who grew up with more advantages than the average person. There just seems to be an over abundance of them & how they grew up seems to have an effect on the attitude they have and how they treat other people.
25 years on a course? Wow. Kudos on the dedication. I know it was hard work.
While it may not require running, it does require a pretty precision-tuned set of muscles and a lot of brain work. I'd class it with pool, or bowling. It requires precise control of the body, and a lot of understanding of how to read the situation.
I guess your next video will be telling NASCAR fans their fun is not a sport :)
@P00P0STER0US I agree. It does require a high level of skill. It's funny you mention NASCAR. I'm not a fan & have considered it. The only thing that's kept me from broaching that particular subject is the fact that most of the drivers come from humble beginnings & seem to be genuinely nice people.
You are quoting Fight Club. Get a life. Nice try.

What I dislike about golf is the fact that there is little or no interaction between players.
It may be a sport, but it is certainly not a game.
A game is a situation where players decide actions towards an objective and regarding each others decisions.
In golf you just need to put the ball in the hole and there is virtually nothing your opponent can do to make it harder for you.
vjfperez 3 months ago
The ignorance in this video is ridiculous. The definition of an athlete and athleticism is broader than what you make it out to be. Just because most PGA Tour players don't have a 35" vertical/4.5 40 doesn't mean they aren't athletes. The golf swing puts tremendous force on the body. While a fat old man can be good at golf, you don't exactly see that guy on the Senior Tour do you? The best golfers maintain a high fitness level. Don't post videos about something you clearly know nothing about.

Tiger is mentally, emotionally, and physically a god compared to you.

tneatrour 4 months ago
@tneatrour Turning left for 4 hours most certainly doesn't require athleticism and there are plenty of out of shape drivers. (e.g. Tony tubby Stuart) I'm not personally a fan of racing but the vast majority of actual drivers seem to be much more down to earth than the pro golfers. One can only assume it's because most of them come from comparatively modest & humble upbringings. Golf has always been a game of privilege & golfers like Tiger clear believe they are ''above'' their average fan.

@JustA11en Golf isnt a game nor a sport. Nascar isn't a sport its a waste of gas for idiots who like to turn left all day. its boring as hell and retarded those are 2 things that are a waste of time AND space

@JustA11en When it comes to drivers, most of them actually are very well off to get into it. You need money, and a lot of it. It's certainly not for the working class, as you'll find most of them aren't. However, as far as it not being a sport, most people are physically drained and sweating afterwards, with sore bodies. They put their bodies and mind through stress. It's far more than turning left for 4 hours. Plus your argument about out of shape people doesn't really stand up, for example....

@dadvocate2011 Using generic references like ''most'' with no supporting evidence doesn't make a statement a fact. Stress & sweat have no correlation with athleticism. Do slobs who hang out in the hood, playing Xbox in the summer, qualify for the olympics? I think not. >:)

The boxer butterbean, looks more out of shape than who you mentioned, yet he is far fitter than he looks. He can go hell for leather for a long period of time in the ring, and give/take some of the hardest hits in the world. If you try to argue that he is not an athlete then you're quite stupid.
dadvocate2011 2 months ago
@dadvocate2011 Butterbean had an incredibly short boxing career because he had no endurance and horrific conditioning. His only asset was the ability to knock out glass-jawed hacks with haymakers. That's why he quickly turned to tough man contest against novices with little skill and equally poor athleticism. You should do a little more research before citing such weak examples to support thinly supported positions.

@JustA11en As far as Golf. That fits into one of the definitions of sport. There are 2 definitions of sport by the way. The first definition applies to golf: "Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively".
The second definition is what you believe (only believe, you can't prove): "An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively". Goodnight

your point. Lastly, I am compelled to have you find an 80 year old 300 hundred pound man that can play scratch golf, let alone play at a competitive level. The oldest you will see guys play competitively on the Champions Tour is about 65, and even that is rare. These player also play from shorter distances and the greenskeepers purposely make greens slower and easier for them to putt on. Golf is a sport, and while I see why you may think it isn't, some of your points are quite frankly, invalid.

On the point of how you said Tiger blamed everyone else, I would like you to show me an interview or any case where he did this. Tiger had the same caddy for twelve years, while most tour pros only keep the same caddy for two or three years. Tiger used the exact same type of club since his sponsorship with Nike began, until they created a new design special for him in 2010, (Nike VR Blades), so I don't understand..

I feel like you don't watch golf and don't know anything about news in the sport of golf. Golf involves physical activity, has a set of rules, and is played competitively. These three all fit the definition of sport, so I'm not sure what this debate is for. Swinging a golf club is physically demanding, that's why many golfers have back injuries and caused a great athlete like Tiger Woods to need three knee surgeries. This was caused because Tiger uses a very aggresive swing and his drive forw...
schonhoff12 6 months ago
@schonhoff12 You're assertion that Tiger is a "great athlete'' is fundamentally flawed. He couldn't make the team for any real division one college sport, let alone compete at a high level. He's in good shape… for a golfer, which is a distinctly different (e.g. considerably lower) standard & level of competition.
JustA11en 6 months ago
@JustA11en Conversely, your assertion that Tiger could not do these things and is not an athlete is based entirely on opinion, not fact. Therefore, one cannot take your statement seriously, unless of course they agreed with your opinion. Tiger played baseball, basketball, and ran track. He focused on golf because his parents told him he could only focus on one sport and that's what he chose. Saying he couldn't vompete at a high level for these sports is irrational.

@schonhoff12 The fact that he injured his knees playing a game that puts minimal strain on the body (with the spine being the only exception) would lead one to logically surmise that he simply couldn't handle the rigors of any serious competitive sport. Also, de did not compete in any real sports during childhood or high school.

This is a ridiculous claim, that just because some people that play golf well aren't athletic (or not to your D-I/pro level) makes it not a sport. The fact is that a golf swing is an athletic movement that requires excellent timing of many parts of your body. Serious golfers hit the gym and are, for the most part, very much athletic. I bet you believe that NASCAR drivers and professional fishermen are more of athletes than them when driving and fishing can be done by the same 80 y/o 400lb men

sarge958 7 months ago
the more you squat in the weight room the better your legs will get. your legs help you a lot with your power in your swing & again you will hit the ball farther. the more you work on your abs and core the better you will be with your swing and the way you hit the ball. so YES you must be an athlete to play golf. & again I PROVED YOU WRONG. i signed with a division 1 college and i am a soccer player and a golfer. so don't say golfers can't sign for another sport. cause guess what? i just did :)
Arafac2011 7 months ago
@Arafac2011 Being an athlete can clearly make one a better golfer. Being in shape, stronger, more flexible, etc, could also improve distance & other aspects of the game. None of the above, or anything you've cited, are "required" to be a good golfer. You are not "most" golfers. Your particular example is unquestionably atypical.

@Michelle5451 I would probably agree with you... since I'm a guy & i'm not a fan of guy's asses.
With that said the aforementioned glues are still rock solid.

@Michelle5451 The 1st to notice what my new background actually is. You win 1 interntez.
It's feasible that you are an athlete…. even if you workout at Planet Fitness. >:D
JustA11en 10 months ago
@JustA11en Yeah! 1 internetz. I shall spend it wisely. I don't workout at Planet Fitness...yet. Dragging my apple bottom ass in joining, hanging onto the hope that a real, non-fru fru gym will suddenly appear in my hood. Not looking good - Ima have to cave into the purple nightmare. I just want a stellar weight room and a treadmill sans the rest of the bullcrap - why is that so hard these days? Maybe I'll take up...golfing in the meantime.

ALLEN YOUR RIGHT AND I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER. I CAN'T STAND GOLF AND DON'T SEE HOW PEOPLE CALL IT A SPORT. MY OPINION ON THE "CRY BABY" HE NEEDS TO LEARN THAT HE IS A "NO BODY" AND A CHEATING WHORE.

@leafdude70 Leaf! Good to hear from you man.
I think my chest was having an allergic reaction to the Tiger Woods discussion. >:D

i enjoyed that rant. i love to watch the skill involved in golf. you are right though, not much athleticism going on there. a little more walking and whacking than billiards.

@snarkdetriomphe I'm glad you did. :) I never stopped ranting. I just stopped putting them on video. It was actually pretty fun to use my e-stick for some poking again.

Hahahaaa! Smack dead center on the nose, A11en!
I worked 25 years on a golf course, spent the last 5 as Superintendent, and retired 3 years ago. I've seen them all. And it's a game, not a sport, and every bad shot and lost ball is the fault of the Superintendent and the maintenance crew. Gotta love the lying SOBs...
And BTW, I don't golf, never have. I tried it once, failed miserably, decided it wasn't worth the hassle, and just went on with growing grass for a living.

@anmoose I actually used to golf quite a bit when I was in college & was fairly decent at it. I just have better ways to spend my money now. I guess, as a youth athletic coach, I carry a little bit of a chip around because it's a game of privilege. Any kid (regardless of background) can get a basketball, football, baseball, bat, and glove for next to nothing & learn the game. They could never afford even the cheapest Walmart clubs to get started in golf. Even if someone gave them some they won't

@JustA11en be able to find a course that will give them a free tee time. It's not that every golfer is a snob who grew up with more advantages than the average person. There just seems to be an over abundance of them & how they grew up seems to have an effect on the attitude they have and how they treat other people.
25 years on a course? Wow. Kudos on the dedication. I know it was hard work.
JustA11en 10 months ago
While it may not require running, it does require a pretty precision-tuned set of muscles and a lot of brain work. I'd class it with pool, or bowling. It requires precise control of the body, and a lot of understanding of how to read the situation.
I guess your next video will be telling NASCAR fans their fun is not a sport :)
P00P0STER0US 10 months ago
@P00P0STER0US I agree. It does require a high level of skill. It's funny you mention NASCAR. I'm not a fan & have considered it. The only thing that's kept me from broaching that particular subject is the fact that most of the drivers come from humble beginnings & seem to be genuinely nice people.
