Links 2004 - Golf A Game?
Really, I do not like the game you call, 'Golf', it seems so 'slow'. Its not as fun as watching football or hockey 
but I guess everyone has something to fit their groove?
QUOTE GAME REVIEW: 'LINKS 2004' FUN GOLF TITLE
Microsoft has owned PC golf games with its "Links" series for years, so converting the computer game to the Xbox console was really a no-brainer. The result is a little mixed but a positive one.

| Golf is so boring all on its own let alone to play on a monitor. I really do not know what the purpose of that is, no matter how good the graphics are... |
Excuse me sir! Golf is not boring at all! I think is a wonderful sport and I hope my son when he grows up a bit more would like to play it
. I never played it in the computer so far. Game Golf Links
JB, I pitty you! -->
Golf is an incredible game of skill. Have you ever played it? I must admit I am not much for watching it, although now that I play I can stand to watch it more than I could before. However, to play is awesome! It is so challenging. I don't care how good of an athlete you are, this game takes more than athletic ability.
One good round of golf and you would be hooked. In fact, I might go play a par 3 9 hole course this evening after my son gets home from work!

I would agree that golf is a game, but should not be confused as a sport. Some skill involved but a true sport incorporates the use of a defense.

I do not believe your definition of what a sport is, is a valid one. Many things that are recognized as a sport do not fit into that category. How about diving, swimming, gymnastics, hunting? I think your definition might be more in line with team sports but to say golf isn't a sport would be incorrect.
According to dictionary.com here are the first three entries they have for the word "sport."
1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
2. A particular form of this activity.
3. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
This would definately mean golf is a sport.

The key words here are physical activity and physical exertion, which I do not believe golf falls under. Here is the definition of golf.
A game played on a large outdoor course with a series of 9 or 18 holes spaced far apart, the object being to propel a small, hard ball with the use of various clubs into each hole with as few strokes as possible.

It doesn't say rigorous physical activity. Have you ever golfed? If it a physical activity. You do have to swing the club.
The physical exertion requirement is definition #2. Definition #1 says physical activity. You may not have much respect for the game, but it is still a sport, nonetheless. Edited: tenaheff on 21st May, 2004 - 6:25pm
