Can someone explain to me why Golf is so popular? The way you hear golfers talk about the sport sounds like a cult. Mofos out here leaving work at 2 so they can golf 6 hours a day. Even hoopers aren't that obsessed about their sport. Golf is the slowest most boring sport out there. There is no energy to that game whatsoever. I can't even call it a sport when you got 60 years old who are competing at a high level. Nowadays I'm seeing a lot of Black People getting into the Golf wave. I got Black Coworkers talking about they gonna sit at home all weekend to watch the Masters on TV. I'd rather watch paint dry than watch someone else play Golf.

I have two uncles that love the game, one actually caddied for golfers in the Masters (R.I.P.) the other just loved the game. I’m not into it like them, but I appreciate it more now than ever. It’s a cool experience honestly and if you ever get a chance to experience it live you should go. I’m from Augusta and have been to the masters twice in my life. I’m in Charlotte now and have been to Quail Hallow for a couple tours.. I do think it’s funny that 60
Year olds can go out there and ball out but it is what it is.

I don't get the appeal of watching it live.

As a TV product it can be entertaining particularly on the closing stretch on a Sunday if the leaderboard is tight. Watching players mentally fall apart is :banderas:

But generally I think it works best as background viewing. I ain't watching every shot but it's nice to have on and check in on while doing other shyt.

It’s the only sport anyone of any age can play and there not be a physical disadvantage.


I can sort of see the appeal after trying top hold the last few years.
This. When my granddad was still with us, he, my dad, brother, and I would go out occasionally, and he was always competitive.

Although it's not my favorite game, it's one of the most social sports you'll ever play. There's a lot of downtime between shots, so it's a great way to hang out and shoot the shyt.

Usually golf is the game of business types. It’s something to do to show you get money & are interested in doing to broker even more
