1. Only thing that made watching golf more exciting than
watching paint dry. ;)

3. That's true, but nobody does it.
Golf however has an audience. I have no idea why. :rofl:

7. I like golf. Sorry but I do.

And yes I DO know how much resources the industry hogs up, in land, in water, and so forth. I also know that the majority of Professionals (and amateurs as well most likely) are conservative jackasses only one generation, or less, removed from overt racism. I know that Tiger Woods is an over-privileged hedonist, and that the tour is full of other players who are really no different they just haven't gotten caught.

Here's the thing though. I've played the game, and it's FUN. I enjoy it very much. I always feel conflicted whenever I watch it on TV, or play it, due to the factors mentioned above. Nonetheless, I still like the game.

Maybe a little "Live and let live" is in order here?

8. Until the next sport o rama comes along
I find pretty much all sports boring and wish they were on only specific sports channels, but they are not so I spend less and less time watching TV.

9. waaaaa
It was on one channel ffs. Yeah, the Tiger thing is overblown. I think you could take issue with the MSM for that. (I also would love to see Tiger just look at the camera and say: Fuck you for your interest in my sex life/marriage, go find an important issue to care about)

I could probably whine the same way about at least one show/sport you love to watch and spam about too. ;) :P

14. i myself am not a golf fan, but i do recognize that others like it. and when it' on i just use that
button thing i have and change the channel. it's not like when i was a kid and there were three channels and uhf which we had to hold the antenna just so so we could watch cartoons. my kids are horrified when i tell them of the one channel that had cartoons on and when the cartoons were on. but i digress.

i am not a big fan of golf or most sports. they just make me want to take a nap. but i think the half hour on tiger woods is ridiculous. he didn't do anything to me. he did it to his wife. if i put him on pedestal then it's my fault he fell off it i say.... and if his infidelity affected you that much mr tv person then that's YOUR fault!! i find it disgusting that that owner of the golf club actually made a statement about how awful woods behaviour was.... who the hell are you!! i bet this clown has all kinds of skeletons of his own!! why is he complaining.... tiger woods has made him a lot of money over the years and his being at the masters this year is making this clown a lot more money.

i find the media's wet dream over this whole thing disgusting. how many have died in iraq and afghanistan while this fiasco has gone on? do they get like five minutes of time on the tv?? probably not even that. but lets keep talking about what tiger woods did. i say who friggin cares!! what does it have to do with me!!! oh he was a role model for my kids... blah blah blah. well then, i guess you could take this as an opportunity to discuss things with your kids about respecting yourself and others and maybe even how people who seem to have the perfect life and lots of money may not have it all like you thought. but we wouldn't want to TALK to our kids would we!!

15. Is it on every channel? We don't have teevee, so I really don't know.
If it is not on every one, might you switch stations?

16. watching golf on TV
is almost as big a waste of time as talking about it on an internet site.
