Are golfers pathetic sissies?

Can you imagine a kicker in football ask, nay, DEMAND total silence from the spectators before a crucial kick?

Can you imagine a basket ball player demanding quiet prior to a free throw?

Can you imagine a star in any sport requiring a lackey to carry his equipment? Test the wind? Advice on what to do?

Can you imagine a golf tournament where a participant had enough testosterone in his body to drive a ball or make putt with adoring wannabes cheering WHILE and PRIOR TO making those shots, not only after?

Can you imagine a senior bowler in a bowling alley full of screaming kids demanding silence before rolling his ball?

Yet, that is what professional golfers do, and weekend champions are more than enough monkeys to copy this sorry behavior.

What do you think?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I didn't realize you were a golfer

 

[FJO]

I didn't realize you were a golfer

I am a recreational golfer. I don't give a damn about my score. I go for the fresh air and the once-a-year companionship with my friends. I could not care less if they cried, laughed or screamed while I am about to drive or putt.

I happen to be a married male, and I am man enough to filter out from my mind the words, sentences and expressions that come with being married. Why can't professional golfers do the same?

If I can do it, why can't the spoiled brats of professional golf do it?

If kickers in football can do it, - when the season is at stake, or perhaps the future - why can't these sissies do it?

BTW, do you agree that any professional golfer who misses the fairway from the tee should be assessed an automatic stroke penalty and if not, why not?

Do you agree that any professional golfer who spends 6 days a week on the golf course and still plays over par should be excluded fro further competition, caddy or no caddy?

I wouldn't call them sissies ..but most of the golfers I know that play regularly are fucking ass holes .

This thread is NOT about recreational and/or weekend golfers like weekend golfers like you and me.

The question is Professional golfers are sissies or not?

I know I don't demand silence when I tee off or when I putt.

Why do assholes do?

Don't get me wrong. They are artists and supreme masters of their craft.

But WHY, oh WHY do they need a slave to carry their bags? Why do they need the advise of some peasant who makes one hundredth of the overinflated pay of the so-called pro, who is not man enough to carry his own bag?

Lack of conscience? Lack of self discipline?

Golf isn't a team sport with a few exceptions. The spectators are not neccesary. Some people do better than others with concentrating as they take a golf swing. Me... I don't care.. my buddies and I make funny noises when we play golf to try and throw the other guy off his game. We don't play a game where a shot missed might cost half a million dollars. Personally I believe a spectator that makes noise during a shot in a big tournament should be escorted off the course.

 

[Montrovant]

I don't know that it makes pro golfers sissies.....I think it does, however, make golf a pathetic excuse for a spectator sport.

 

[earlycuyler]

I do something close to golf. I stink so bad at it that I dont think you can call what I do golf.

Golf is not a sport.

There is a certain decorum associated with various competitive sporting events.
Golf isn't soccer or football or basketball.
Neither is tennis.

There are moments in certain sports where you should just shut the fuck up.

If it's necessary to be quiet for the performance of the game, it's a bad spectator sport. Or at least a bad live spectator sport.

Yet sport nonetheless.

With a different class of spectators.

I cannot fathom what makes people want to watch major PGA tournaments live on-site rather than TV.
The best they can see is 1/18th of what is going on, and what they can see is basically nothing...mainly golfers walking by.

I saw Led Zeppelin in the 70's.
Sort of.
Restricted view.
Still got the ticket stub.
Wouldn't trade the experience for nuttin'.

Can you imagine plumber who has his pipe wrench carried for him by a stooge?

Yet, that is what so-called professional golfers demand.

I would like to see the day when a professional golfer will stand up and say: I will carry my own clubs, thank you. Will there ever be somebody MAN enough to do and say so?

Define the moment in football, baseball, soccer, basketball, bowling (well, maybe not bowling), hockey, car racing, Olympic events, etc., where the competitors have the unmitigated gull and nerve to tell the spectators whose money pay for their living to shut the Hell up, because I am about to do what I AM ABOUT TO DO, AND your noise bothers me.

Golfers are artists with the club and the ball, but they are spoiled primadonnas and undisputed sissies, in my opinion.

If I pay the price of admission, decorum or no decorum, why should I shut up?

 

[Mr. H.]

I think you're all sissies for bitching about such a thing in the first place.

Interesting comparison. Yes I can see it. Except the guy carrying the wrench just doesn't have the physical skill to turn the wrenches.. He is the EXPERT on what can go wrong with the pipes and how to best do the repairs.

I'm getting old and my body won't do what it used to when I was 20 but people come to me all of the time to fix thier cars or trucks. I might take a liking to them and tell them how to do the repair and even stand there and hand em the right wrench.

A top caddy is not a "stooge". Steve Williams, Tiger Woods caddy, supposedly made $1.27 million in 2006.

 

[Mr Natural]

Golf.

A nice walk ruined by a stupid game.
