hey macbaine, what are you, 12? "Owned"...duh...gee, you are cool...you 'owned' someone
the poll should say "in your opinion, is golf a sport?"
In my opinion, golf isn't any more of a sport than pool, darts, or bowling...and like I said, professional golfers are a bunch of rich kids who grew up playing golf...I'm not saying that they aren't talented or skilled at what they do, just that to me, its more of a contest like shooting pool....
as for the other dumb 4ss who said if you practice at baseball you will get better as well....and the guy who says DH's in baseball don't do anything......you can practice your whole life in a batting cage and still never be a good hitter....there is a MONUMENTAL difference in hitting a 95mph fastball and trying to hit a golf ball, sitting on a tee, where you want it to go.

your'e getting dumber by the post. You can practive hitting golf balls your whole life and never hit one 300 yards. Pros spray off terrible shots all the time. It takes just as much skill to blast a 300 yard drive center cut than it does to hit a 95mph fastball.

And in baseball you don't have to play your foul balls. And a broken bat bloop is just as good as a screaming line drive. And you can reach base without ever even swinging. In golf you don't get to keep swinging until you hit one fair. And pop ups are not nearly as good as a ball well struck. And you need to put the ball in the hole, the pitcher can't walk it there for you.
Comparing baseball to golf is apples to oranges, it's an asine argument. The only thing in common is hitting a ball with a stick. The simple-minded like to make the golf/baseball comparison, but it's not even close to being accurate. Sports are physical competitions, golf and baseball are both sports. Chess is not because there's no physical element and flying model airplanes is not because it's neither physical nor competitive.
