My best friend was in the hotel industry so we just played for free in a lot of places for him referring guests to a particular course. Best deal ever.
I've driven by that course a million times and never played it.
My favorite course of all time is Arrowhead in Golden, Co. The Red Rocks are sticking up all over the course.

BTW I've played every major American sport outside of hockey. I played basketball and football in HS, I played baseball as a kid. I played a lot of soccer as well.
None of them ever came even close to matching the necessary mental and physical coordination that Golf requires to be successful.
Golf is ing hard.
Yeah, free golf is hands down the best deal.
I try to wait for company tournaments nowadays. I'm in an industry where a golf tourney is standard about once a month.
Well, that's cool man. My anger scares me too, but that doesn't mean I don't justify it. What scares me is that the world is a flatout crazy place and I'm one of the very few who see it. I don't see dystopia as a future event, I see it as what we got right now. Which makes me angry. And where that anger might lead me scares me too, but no apologies for that . I'm just a product.
Or it's just that this is the internet and you can get away with it here.........just sayin'.
More so than IRL... I'd be lying if I said otherwise. But even if I'm comparatively more subdued and less outspoken when dealing face to face, I'm still pretty radical and outspoken nonetheless. ST sees my politics distilled into outright malice. The real world sees them watered down into funny cynicism. What's going on in my brain is probably somewhere in the middle.
Is mini-golf a sport?
Golf is technically a sport, but not anymore than horse shoes, darts, or pool is. It does not promote or dare i say require the physical fitness compared with a real sport - how hard does your average golfer work on his fitness? Why would it even matter?
I'm willing to bet the majority of people would prefer doing one of those three things (darts, pool, horseshoes) instead of strolling around clubbing golf balls way off the mark - driving in the golf cart is more fun than that.
And golf costs lots of money (for the clubs, to use the land) and only occurs on huge tracts of private, rich-owned land during fair weather, while real sports can occur in or near your front yard for cheap, mostly year round.
Golf can be fun to watch when the compe ors are close and making crazy shots (or the nigh impossible hole in one), but usually it's boring as .

Again, spoken like a non-golfer. You have no idea the amount of muscle co-ordination that goes into successfully hitting a golf ball. That's obviously not the same as cardio fitness, but muscle tone and muscle memory is a form of fitness too. And professional golfers have more of it and need more of it than your or I or even professional dart players do.how hard does your average golfer work on his fitness? Why would it even matter?
Take John Daly again for example. Two years ago he was as fat as ever, kept breaking his ribs on his backswing, was just about out of the game, playing on sponsor exemptions and was considering retirement. Two years later, he's lost 150 lbs. and was leading (for awhile) at the British Open. Meanwhile Tiger, the most physically fit and dedicated to working out golfer in the PGA, has also been the best at his sport for a decade plus. He's been sidetracked only by mental disintegration.
The idea that physical fitness is irrelevant to successful golf can only be described as grossly ignorant of what golf is.
Collapsing along with Cheetah are 1000s of golf courses, which will save Bs of gallons of water, but cut a lot of jobs for illegals.
Why?
Marathon running sure is, and one of the hardest sports out there.So is jogging a sport?
You're confusing my projected outcome with an assertion.Link?
I mentioned two already, going by golf's standard.I chip in my front yard, and putt in the house. (how many sports can you practice in the house)?
I'd be willing to bet (mostly due to human nature - our response to fast moving groups of humans) most people think basketball is much more entertaining to watch than golf, especially if you want to compare the entertainment factor during "down times". Cool story though.So is NBA Basketball in my opinion.
wah wah wah what a poor, billionaireYep.............see his mind is all ed up now. He cant concentrate on his game. He doesnt have that comfort zone of an intact family (with ho's on the side) anymore. Makes ya feel like complete when you finish a round and go to your hotel room, without your wife or kids sitting there waiting for you.he never did anything to deserve this!!!
You bet your ass. golf, and it even more because you like it.
Yeah, it takes a ton of effort climbing into that cart and telling Joe Caddy, "Go."The idea that physical fitness is irrelevant to successful golf can only be described as grossly ignorant of what golf is.
Okay. Par for the course from you though z0sa; try to end the argument by admitting that you're a ing ignorant, clueless re . Have fun getting clowned on by everyone else if you keep it up.
It was a game made for children and high school kids to take out on their first date.Why?
But joggin isn't? Make a distinction here since "fitness" is according to you what qualifies a sport. Is it a sport at 26 miles? Is it a sport at 2 miles? When does it become a sport and when isn't it?Marathon running sure is, and one of the hardest sports out there.
So it's just an opinion then? We are discussing the legitimacy of what defines 'sport' and you are using opinions?You're confusing my projected outcome with an assertion.
I have trouble living in a cold weather area and playing baseball outside for more than three months out of the year, does this mean it' not a sport?I mentioned two already, going by golf's standard.
You've added nothing to the argument here. Cool story though.I'd be willing to bet (mostly due to human nature - our response to fast moving groups of humans) most people think basketball is much more entertaining to watch than golf, especially if you want to compare the entertainment factor during "down times". Cool story though.
Par for the usual with you, you're a who's easily butthurt. I'm absolutely positive golf is difficult and takes much coordination. However, it does not require anything remotely resembling "physical fitness"; the sport never requires you more than brisk walking for God's sake.
You can stop arguing now.
You'd rarely find such people on a golf course, that's for sure.
You do know I said golf is a sport, right? Just checking.But joggin isn't? Make a distinction here since "fitness" is according to you what qualifies a sport. Is it a sport at 26 miles? Is it a sport at 2 miles? When does it become a sport and when isn't it?
*gasp* yes!So it's just an opinion then? We are discussing the legitimacy of what defines 'sport' and you are using opinions?
That wasn't the only qualifier.I have trouble living in a cold weather area and playing baseball outside for more than three months out of the year, does this mean it' not a sport?
Another cool story!You've added nothing to the argument here. Cool story though.
You can stop being butthurt about golf now.
The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sport has defined fitness to include the following factors:
cardiorespiratory
flexibility
muscular strength
muscular stamina
agility
balance
motor coordination
power/speed
and
reaction time (reflexes)
I'm not going to walk you through what it is to swing a golf club at 100+ MPH, 70+ times over the course of a few hours. And all else that a sucessful golf swing entails, but if you don't think that 8 of those 9 components aren't major, major, major factors in a successful golf game, much less a professional level golf game, then you don't know a thing about golf. And that's really all there is to it.
You can get out of here with the whole 'golf isn't a sport because you don't have to run' BS. Think beyond the simple, myopic little notion that fitness only means your heart and lungs are in good shape. Unless you golf regularly, I know for a fact that if you went and hacked your way through 18 holes tomorrow and walked the length of a course, you would wake up the next day not only sore, but probably too sore to even raise your arms above your chest.
Agility is not needed in golfing.
Reaction time is not meaningful in golfing.
Cardio/respiratory factors aren't present in golfing.
Hey, what do you know, the three most common elements to athletic sports aren't present in golfing!
i guess hsi trophy wife aint messing around with no broke ass
Golf is no less of a sport than baseball or NASCAR.
