I have been playing baseball for nine years and basketball for four years The amount of time and running I put in sports is unbelievable. Golf is not a sport, because there is logical, ethical, and emotional facts to support it is more of a game. Golf is not a sport because the amount of work athletes put into sports are insane Compared to golf, you do not need to be in shape. It is unfair to the real athletes who work out, when golfers sit at home and practice hitting a ball.]]> 2018-04-24 17:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/254945801 KlutchKyle23 https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/254949003 2018-04-24 17:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/254949003 KlutchKyle23 https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/254949792 Many people recognize golf as a sport by sporting goods companies, athletic associations, fans, the media, and more. They point to golf's inclusion in the Olympics starting in 2016 as further evidence of its disqualification as a sport. Spelling bees, poker, and darts are competitions with scores and winners, which are sometimes broadcast on the sports network ESPN, but those activities are not sports.]]> 2018-04-24 17:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/254949792 KlutchKyle23 https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/254958669 The Con side argues that golf is not a sport if it can be played by a golfer with a broken leg which was Tiger Woods in the 2008 U.S. Open. In professional golf, each golfer hits the ball with his club, then gives his club to another guy who puts it in a bag. The golfer then sits in the back of a golf cart and is driven to where the ball has landed. This makes for little actual physical activity. In real sports like basketball, soccer, football, baseball, volleyball, gymnastics, boxing, etc. on procon.org. you actually have to be in physical shape to play in the sport. ]]> 2018-04-24 17:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/254958669 KlutchKyle23 https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/255363172 2018-04-25 17:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/255363172 KlutchKyle23 https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/255364537 They argue that golf is a game or leisure activity, and they mention golf's 112-year absence from the Olympics as proof that it is not a sport. The fact that golfers are able to be competitive professionally so far past the age of peak athleticism -- age 26 according to a June 2011 peer-reviewed study -- shows that golf is not a sport. Golf is absolutely not a sport. Yes there's history, but everything has history. You state that it is competitive enough to be considered a sport, well I argue that is false. If you play poker that is as competitive as the game of golf.]]> 2018-04-25 17:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/KlutchKyle23/ft7si3jasq6c/wish/255364537
