'king golf

[Chuffy]

Who else was settling down to watch the mens World Championship on BBC2 only to find that the bastard glof was more important?
No, I don't have a sodding red button.
No I am not watching the World Champs.
No I am not a happy bunny. !
Glof. My 'king arse.

Where you're going wrong is, you haven't got a red button. Wot you need is a red button, see?

I've got a red button

BTW, who won the golf?

I'll get my coat!

Golf; it is simply darts for the middle classes. It is a game or a pastime not a sport. I note that the participants do not now need to even walk between each shot. At least in darts they have to walk up to the dartboard.

Chuffy, in exactly the same boat. I've just spent 20 minutes swearing around my living room. Checked internet to see if it might be on iplayer. No luck. Seriously f'ing annoyed. Doubly so as I was out for the women's yesterday. F'cking bbc.

You missed an incredible women's race. I thought it was one of the best I had watched.

I tried streaming it from justin.tv but they were showing Man City v Wigan, FFS!

I bet thier course didn't even have a windmill. Or one with a loop in.

The only sport where you wear a sweater. Why is there so much enmity towards golf by cyclists? I hate it with a passion but I don't understand why!

Cricketers wear sweaters.

I love cycling; I enjoy playing golf.

I don't know why others dislike golf so much.

I like golf too, would rather watch cycling, or go for a bike ride, but golf is good too....

And it's a much bigger sport globally, and is a much more attractive proposition for sponsors than cycling.

I know this is a cycling forum, but you have to accept that pro cycling is an incredibly minority sport, way more people will have been watching the golf.....

Cycling is my No.1 sport but I also like and play golf (more when in the UK than now) However I share the frustration expressed by Chuffy and others when some sport that is not so interesting to me is being shown instead of the cycling. Thank goodness for Cyclingnews as a substitute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'cause it's crap


Incidentally, you may think cyclists have it bad with the overinflated cost of parts etc but whilst in Decathlon last week I saw a golf bat thing that was £660.00.
£660.00 I ask you it wasn't even very big, I don't think you'd be able to whack the ball too far with it anyway.

Golf. waste of a good car park.

 

[ChrisKH]

Waste of a good walk, also. I really , really, tried to get into golf but couldn't justify it to myself at the end of the day. I can't keep a good score (sub 95) unless I play regularly and I don't have the time for it. I suspect if I was a naturally talented player my view would be different. Golf etiquette also used to do my head in.
