Post a controversial opinion

it’s not about physical space, it’s about water

Then maybe let them do it on the ocean floor?

Alaska is both spacious and wet.

golf is such a wanker's game on so many levels

Golf is p cool

can actually remember turning up at a posh golf (as poor as fuck white kid) course with intentions to offer caddying services for cash. Some group of young black kids had got there before us and were shouting: " there is a queue here, you white cunts!" ahh ..the spirit of golf!

I've never had played at a "nice" course, just mangy 9holes

I like mini-golf a lot

oh, here's a controversial opinion - minigolf is a superficial and tedious sort of "fun" far more entertaining in the abstract than it is to actually play

That’s an advantage though, since if you can’t play minigolf you can get 90% of the fun by just thinking about minigolf. The last 10% is the fun of arguing

pffft ilxors have opinions on "golf"

All forms of golf are fun

Real golf is also very stressful though

I love that scene in A Touch of Sin where someone gets their just rewards for mockingly calling our hero "Mr Golf".

It would be a better use of golf greens land if they would just bury the bodies there.

The best part about golf is you get to have brewskies with your pals and cruise around in the little cart

Like eff the rules that say not to drink and cart srsly

tbf Touch of Sin guy doesn't take umbrage because he thinks golf is uncool

I know!

but fuck golf anyways!

i've been on ILM long enough to know there are lots of things that are good in themselves that only get a bad rep because of some of the people associated with them

Like Dave matthews

(JOKING)

i meant like music

it’s not about physical space, it’s about water

That's not a problem in Scotland - but I get it's a problem elsewhere.

No carts

Golf is associated with Scotland because the rules, bylaws, rituals, courtesies, self-discipline, record-keeping etc exemplify traits of Presbyterianism.

and because it was invented there

thats why Hess flew to Scotland, he knew they were a bunch of Tory cunts!

Golf is as american as apple pie

The two main powers in St Andrews are the university and the Royal and Ancient - both very conservative forces, unfortunately.

xp apple pie isn't American either so that works

Golf to me is like a religion. I fucking hate it but what a lovely venue.

The number of times I've seen a lovely large unlabelled green space near our new house on google maps, switched on the satellite view to see what it is and found out it's a golf course.

That number of times, my friends, is two.

Love the solitude of golf. Spent most of my days off this summer teeing off at 5am and having the course completely to myself aside from a few dog walkers and joggers.

One time we were eating in the local Chinese restaurant when some guy turns up to wait for a takeaway and gets talking to the (Chinese) proprietor

somehow he gets on to complaining that there are too many immigrants, a controversial topic of conversation in general and surely a bit rude in the circumstances. he rants for a while, all the usual. eventually he says it is a problem for him because they don't speak good enough English and it makes his job as a teacher harder

the other half and I work in education and are both children of teachers, so this piques our curiosity/outrage a little. what does this man, this obliviously rude man but one who perhaps has a useful public-spirited job which he feels is being hindered in some way, teach? the restaurant manager also asks him what he teaches, in remarkably polite cheery tones

he says

he teaches

GOLF

he is a golf instructor at the course up the hill! sometimes foreigners come for an introductory golf session! and they don't speak perfect English! it is a disaster! a disaster for this very important golf instructor, ranting about foreigners to the Chinese restaurant evening manager who speaks excellent English and btw has a day job as a lawyer!

in summary, lol golfists, the end

if all golf courses were land-mined one night, the arsehole quotient would be right down. This is indisputable and completely uncontroversial!

Being controversial, I'd say golf isn't a sport it's a leisure pursuit/pastime/hobby and is only taken seriously because so many complete wankers play it!

Well, golf is undoubtedly a game; I don’t really care what makes something a sport

making controps that hold any water is a game as well, a difficult one for me tbh.

I live behind a golf course and enjoy the view.

I don't golf, but I do like biking at 5:30am along golf cart tracks and seeing deer and rabbits out on the courses as the sun comes up

Fellas

Ilx’ing is a sport

My grandfather lost an eye after getting hit by a golf ball.

mini golf is fun, but actual golf seems impossible to play... like how tf are you gonna hit that bill so far into that little hole? Serious

it's kinda like peeing into a urinal in a public restroom. you start from across the room, almost certainly missing big time, then make adjustments and get closer to the target as you go

this is how men pee is public restrooms when no one else is in the room, i'm convinced. it's like golf

flappy bird otm, have never understood this

it’s like how are you going to jump so high over the tall man and put the orange globe into the swisher

most shows/movies are better than the book

that's only a few feet, though. The hole is like half a mile away!
