At the risk of being controversial, is golf a sport or a past time?

So if golf is a sport because of the following elements:

Walking
Ability to control an object (ball) over a distance
By the use of a tool (club)

Surely darts is a sport?

Your boys played some beautiful football Paul, nice to see a team having a real go at Man U and the Seve effect was there for the golf-cracking stuff :D

If it's on Sky Sports then it's a sport.

Look out for synchronised nose picking.

My view is that sport is something which makes you sweat from exertion, adrenaline, nerves or fear.

I think Churchill said that idea of a game where the winner hits the ball the least amount of times is absurd.

Who am I to disagree with him?

(Do you think I've wound up the golfies enough now? :twisted: )

My pappy always said that a sport was something that involved defense, while a game did not. So... chess would be a sport and rowing would be a mere game. :lol:
