9-hole courses: dud.18-hole courses where one of the hole designs is repeated a half-dozen times: dud.Lots of changes in elevation: classic.

I think "links" golf has something to do with those weird golf course where the 18th green is also the 1st green, the 2nd also the 17th &c. (like uh st andrew's?) hence the name "links", but I'm not entirely sure.
where does the name "links" come from?

No punches are spared for the PGA's awful racist history, and yet, I still want to play at Augusta. And I don't even golf!

the "culture" surrounding it can seem quite exclusive and overdefined in a boring and elitist way but I don't assume all golfers/people who play golf fall into that trap but, since it is the way, they probably always have to compromise to it, a little, which is offputting
I don't mind watching it on the telly but wouldn't choose to, really. I have been to a tournament or so and the day was OK but not for the golf, so much. like any sport I don't really like to watch (a lot of which I (would probably) quite enjoy playing, for fun), I might watch the final day or so, if there's nothing else to do/friends are watching it
my problem is talking about golf
I cannot stand people talking about golf
not talking about a tournament, if it's on, but, I'm sure, I wouldn't be interested in that either
people talking about their own games, especially to people who haven't invited it or expressed any interest
and loudly
one of the most boring things
(he (the person that prompted this) also talks about money and, probably, cars (another two of the most boring things))
(I used to play golf, btw, and was a member at my local club (years ago))
(crazy golf and pitch & putt are, of course, classic)

Woods' playing ws brually clinical and as much as I wanted to see a close finish it didn't matter in the end. DiMarco played v well, great put for par (on the 15th, i think) to stay in touch. Only one winner tho'.

Golf is classic for golf shorts, mini-golf, and a slight high school reputation for badassery earned for accidentally knocking someone's teeth out with a golf club, but everyone assuming you did it on purpose because the victim was a douche.
Golf is not classic for golf courses and the haughty, smug culture.

Apparently there is a big doping problem in Golf these days. madness.
― The Real Dirty Vicar, Sunday, 22 July 2007 18:43 (sixteen years ago) link
it was great on thursday when they were asking one of the players (can't remember who) about the doping allegations. his response was exactly what I was thinking, which was "I'm note entirely sure how doping would really improve anyone's game"
― Gukbe, Sunday, 22 July 2007 18:45 (sixteen years ago) link
classic if for no other reason than inspiring goofy golf.

I was with a grade 2 class in Listowel, Ontario, today, and one of the boys was Corey Conners' nephew (brother of his mom). "He's rich, you know"--he laughed. (Also said his uncle had won a million dollars when he won the Masters; I said I didn't think so but let it go--I don't doubt that he won a million somewhere.)
