It is incredibly challenging because you can always improve.  
Until you shoot an 18 you can always improve.  
The course I play is very quiet and peaceful too.  
You are outdoors in a beautiful setting hanging out with your friends while feeding your competitve drive.  
Beer is usually involved as well.  
It is addictive once you get some decent skills.

Screw it, I am leaving work and going golfing right now.:biglaugh:

The only time he takes out his driver is when he has a fairway the size of a football field or he’s trying to play catchup. Any time he has a lead or there’s a chance, he takes out an iron or fairway wood. If he was confident enough in his game to go for it, I’d respect him more, and that’s why I like Phil, even though it’s cost him before.

Also, people like Phil because if you’ve ever seen tiger in person, he’s really jacked and you can’t really tell that on TV. Phil represents the notion that golf is great because anyone in any shape can be good at it, like John Daly.

That actually does sound pretty good…

On a related note has anyone else heard Robin Williams’ standup on the beginning of golf? Fucking hilarious! _Irish Accent_ “We’ll whack at a little ball with a stick. Not a regular stick, a little fucked up stick! Like a tire iron. And every time you swing you’ll feel like you’re going to have a stroke. In fact, that’s what we’ll call it!”

Part of the skill I respect is strategy.  
Other players actually whine about Tiger because he is smart enough to do what it takes to win.  
For example he would skip regular tournys to prepare for majors.  
That is brilliant if you ask me.  
Why don’t more players follow his lead?  
They just keep doing what they are doing and keep losing.  
Isn’t that the definition of insanity/ignorance; doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.  
They could all learn from tiger’s game and its evolution.  
He is a new pioneer of an ooooooold game.

Yeah…that was incredible…I really didnt like CBSs coverage there…it seemed like a time warp all over the place…then the crazy rain came out of nowhere…but he demonstrated why he is mentally superior…if u do not take advantage of his miscues you will not get another chance.

Dude it’s so much fun once you get into it and you see yourself getting a little bit better here and there. :tup::tup:

The man that single handily revolutionized the sport?

Do you realize how much press/media/interest in the game this one guy brought to the sport?

Kinda like, Michael Jordan, kinda like, Lance Armstrong.
