How could anyone sit through 5 hours of it on a wkn afternoon? The idea baffles me. I cudntnt even have it on in the background.

I dont get it! Somebody explain?! :eek:

I guess its only use is for napping :)

Ive got nothing against playing it but...whole lotta fun driving those carts!

Its kind of like cricket to me - there are some exciting bits but its boring most of the time. Also, its much more fun to play than watch.

I play it so i find it alright to watch. I like watching the Major's especially Augusta. Watching the 4-5 holes of a tournament is good when its close because you see some of them crack under the pressure. Anyone remember John Van De Velde in the British Open ?

geezz...watching golf..pfftt!
5 mins of a game of golf is the actual hitting of the white ball...
25 mins is taken up by the players walking to the next hole..

how fun...u whack a ball and then chase after it.
yippy!

there were 2 EPL games LIVE tonight, 3 games LIVE last night, spanish league, as well as champions league, scottish and dutch league and press pass and all those fucken ads they show 24/7 on espn
and they repeat the games too
and les murray's thingo that goes all weekend every weekend
if anything they show too MUCH soccer

now basketball is the sport theyve really fucked over
dont get me wrong fox sports is great, just that espn is so shit fucken motocross and that fishing bs, not even proper sport
they need a new channel for this crap, niche sports that only one person watches, and they can fill it with all the crappy motorsports and figure skating and they can put all their fucken ads on that channel too, i dont care what tommy smith has to say

I don't watch it - but I play sometimes - 12 holes or go to the driving range. Just for a bit fun - reduces stress too - I guess.

I love watching the leaders choke and hit shots that only amateurs should hit..............while on the other hand you can watch Tiger spit the dummy all the time...........
