What is the point of golf?
I just don't get it, although I must say some golfers do have rather natty little outfits
Answers:
it's pretty simple. To put the ball into the hole.
It makes sure that the average people in the street don't get blinded by accidentely looking at a golfer's pants.
there is no point..its boring.
To get lots of money..
Golf is a f**king great sport, most of the people who don't play or don't like it are proberly too fat to make it round the course.
Exactly wot is the point!
Just and excuse for men to dress up in brightly coloured clothes (closet homo?)with diamonds on and pretend u have lots of money!!
so men can get away from their wives/girlfriends for a bit and have a bit of "man"time lol
Oh. you mean Cow Pasture Pool?
Not sure as to the point of it all (other than to get the tiny little ball into the tiny little hole from all kinds of far away using a club)
'Tis a good walk, ruined.'
Really there isnt a point. It was started by scottish highlanders in the middle ages as a way of relieving boredom whilst collecting things on the beaches.
If you don't get it don't worry about it. It is a classy sport and fun to be out side on grass doing something else besides cutting it.
Waste of a good walk if you ask me!
hitting balls
Hey guys, let's hit this little ball as far as we can and then get in these little cars and find out where our balls went. When we find them, let's hit them again and chase them again.
I don't know, I don't get it either, I think it's BORING !
Maybe it's an excuse for men to get away fr.
their wives, but now the wives go too so ha ha men,
it didn't work ! LOL & take care
The point is simply to get your ball as close to the golfers in front of you, with a direct hit being a "Hole in one". Its reminds me of working a mortar tube in the Marine Corps. Fire one ball for range, then fire for effect...
It keeps Greenkeepers in a job... and keeps doctors lawyers andthe like out of public places so we can enjoy ourselves without them tutting at us
just because you do not like golf doesn't mean other people don't like golf!The meaning of golf is to hit a round ball with a club into a hole in a ceartain amout of hits depending on the hole's par.a par is a term of golf,other terms.ace, birdie, eagle, bogie, double bogie.when you get onto the green you take out your putter and try to put your ball into the hole.you would just give it a little power when you are putting.when you are hitting with a club you would hit hardly.some diffrent kinds of clubs,9 iron, driver, 8 iron, 7 iron 6 iron and such.
Well, it is like any other sport. Golf was probably invented as a money-making device and progressed into such. But unfortunately it is run by politics - just like any othe rmoney-making venture. Look at Tiger Woods and the rookie at the championships this year. Woods won - as I predicted and it was most likely a set-up. So to answer your question simply - money. Money is the point of golf.
to test your hand eye coordination and i wear jeans and i think you must be gay for looking at outfits you little ***
There is no point to golf. It is one of the most boring sports in the world.
i started a few months ago, it is great, i was suprised how much i enjoy getting so blooming frustrated! Try it on a 9 holer, then you will answer your own question, or join me and my 2 mates and just p*ss your self laughing at the jibes and crack that goes on, oh, and we play a beer a hole, so that ALWAYS gets messy when we have finished! Great laugh!
I don't get why people like you post questions about something that you don't get. Don't you get the idea that if you don't get something, then don't post a question saying that you don't get the point. When you do, then someone like me who doesn't get that you don't get it then has to take time to explain the finer points of a game that you don't get anyway. I just don't get it.
Thats a good question(im being sarcastic). No, golf like bowling is a "retired" man's haven. Golf and bowling can be entertaining and yes they are sports. Does it take an "athlete" to play these types of games;No. Does it take some degree of skill and talent;Yes. I don't mind golf, bowling, darts, and etc... being ranked up there with basketball, football, and hockey as sports. Its just that one genre of sports caters to athletic ability and another genre doesnt. So don't give me that "an athlete is an athlete" because thats not the case.Phil Mickelson is not an athlete, (sorry I know its a heartbreaker). And that obese guy you see throwing darts on espn2 is not an athlete either(sorry once again).
Golf is a self challenge in most cases. As a golfer I can tell you as frustrating and mentally painful as the game is its as equally or more relaxing, visually satisfying and fun to interact with friends. Some of the most beautiful scenes are on the golf course.
the point of golf is to remind people that some sports can only be played by people with money and the short answer, to get the white ball in the whole.
it give us old guys someting to do beside playing bingo
golf is a form of recreation and competition. it has the same 'point' as all recreation and competition.
What is the point of any sport? What is the point of anything?
Its one of the oldest sports in the world. Its actually very beautiful because your opponent is nature - the landscape, weather etc. It may seem pointless to put a ball in a cup, but every sport is pointless if you take that perspective.
Basketball-put a ball in a goal/rim more times than your opponent
Soccer-same thing but use only your feet
Hockey-same thing but use a stick
Lacrosse-same thing
Football-pass a goaline more times than your opponent
Easy question. Get the ball in the hole in the fewest strokes possible. What's the point of this ignorant question? I'm guessing to show your intelligence in the fewest strokes possible.
A very good sport and keeps you fit dont diss it
