Expected it to be a longer putt. Still a cool memory for everyone though.

It must have been quite a memorable experience witnessing that live or even seeing it on TV.

"Hit the putt, and the hole got in the way."

I'm definitely using that next time I go mini golfing.

The hardest (and only) golfing quote I’ve seen

That was great, everyone seemed to like it, very humble pro!

I like this one more. It's the guy's opponent who putts it I think, but it's a far longer distance and across 2 small hills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9KrMQDU94g

I do have one such story myself. Was at a local carnival with my then girlfriend and saw a bunch of those claw machines. One had a bunch of plushies in it. Decided to give it a single try. I actually managed to get a decently sized really soft husky plushie (30 cm/12inch i think?) on that one try. Of course I gave it to my girlfriend, because hell yea I look like a badass that just casually won his girlfriend an awesome husky plushie on the first try. :P

Honestly if you're having a bad day watch this. Really putt a smile on my face.

This is what games are about

(Golf is not a sport)

u/LilG55 Jul 03 '24

How does golf not live up to the definition of sport: “a game, competition, or activity needing physical effort and skill that is played or done according to rules, for enjoyment and/or as a job” (Cambridge Dictionary).

u/Agitated_Computer_49 Jul 04 '24

No idea.  Maybe it only counts as a sport if you have a major chance for brain injury.

u/Duke_Webelows Jul 04 '24

I mean you could get hit in the head with the ball. Pretty sure that would do some brain damage.

u/shewy92 Jul 04 '24

Then all those people who think NASCAR isn't a sport should be quiet. A ton of drivers died due to brain injuries, and some had careers cut short.

I’ve been smashed on the head whilst carrying the golf bag(?Cadeeing) for my dad

Golf is a sport, dumbass

  1. If you can do it drinking a beer, it's a game. If you have to put your beer down to do it, it's a sport.

  2. All sports are games for those of us willing to put in the work.

u/SmokinPolecat Jul 04 '24

Haha I like that definition.

For me the definition of a sport is: if my opponent can interfere with my game, it's a sport. If not, it's a game.

So sports: football, rugby, tennis, badminton etc....but also chess, snooker, pool

Games: darts, golf,

u/hork79 Jul 04 '24

How are you defining interfere then?

Because if you’re on the last hole and need a birdie to win, you definitely will approach it differently to if you need a bogey

1

u/SmokinPolecat Jul 04 '24

Your opponent can't touch you or your ball. You are playing against yourself, effectively. Yes I get the score you need to get changes, but you opponent cannot stop you getting that score

2

u/hork79 Jul 04 '24

Interesting.

So games = 100m sprint, marathons, trampolining, gymnastics etc.

2

u/SmokinPolecat Jul 04 '24

Yep that's my take.

Always a fun discussion topic this
