Golf, Sport or Hobby?

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

I'm thinking about taking up golf and that has spawned a series of doubts & thoughts about the game. 

  • Is Golf a Sport or a Game? You don't usually sweat but you do keep score. Where do we draw the line if you include golf? Is chess or online gaming a sport?
  • How often and for how long will I have to golf before I'm good enough to not be embarrassed when I'm out there?
  • Does a certain physique of person have an advantage? Left handers, Tall people, Fat people, etc?
  • Will this be an easy way to spend time with friends & family? IE: Do any of you golf and want to go out with me?
All of this golf talk is making me more and more serious about the idea. I watched the movie The Legend of Bagger Vance the other day with Ami and it kind of sold me. 

Here is a clip from the movie:
