So do you guys consider golf to be your favorite sport?

I prefer watching the Penguins play hockey to watching golf, but greatly prefer playing golf (or teaching golf, or talking about golf) to watching the Penguins play hockey.

Playing golf on Sunday will always beat out anything else going on. Luckily not much happens as far as sporting events early morning on Sunday. If the Jets are playing early which happens often I will miss the kick off to 1st quarter if a round goes long. Especially in November here on Long island. Going out before 10 am is a no for me too chilly.

Golf is actually the only sport I watch on TV . .unless you count the little bit of football I manage to see during the annual Super Bowl party.

It's also the only sport I play unless you count fishing . .which I don't just because I don't fish with any sort of competitive mentality.

Still rarely watch TV but if I watched a sport I'd probably rather watch NFL.  Golf would be #2 though.

Golf is my favorite outdoor sport. College football is 2nd and college basketball is 3rd. Everything else doesn't even register.

My third favorite outdoor sport is bowling. Followed by darts, and racquetball. :P

Golf is an addiction.

My favorites to play/watch are soccer and surfing.

...I live in OK, so no surfing.

...I blew out my ankle, so no more competitive soccer.

...I also like watching college football up until Oklahoma loses to a crappy team.

That takes us right back to golf - my addiction and my current favorite sport to play.

My favorite sport to watch is College Football, especially watching my 3 teams (BC my alma mater, Rutgers as the State U and I sent them money for 2 children, and Wake Forest because I sent them a lot of money for 1 child).  I enjoy watching golf, but nothing like an exciting college rivalry football game.

My favorite time to play golf on the weekend are autumn Sunday afternoons when folks in my area are watching the Jets and Giants.

Golf by a long shot. I've lost my love of most other sports over the years. The inflated salaries, egos, and showboating have turned me off. At least golfers, for the most part, have to perform to earn a living.

My favorites used to be bowling and tennis, but my aching joints made me give them up. Nothing like college football in the SEC (Florida Gators). We'll be back!

As sporting activity, not from the couch, i much prefer whitewater kayaking but now live far from rainfall and gradient.  So golf, an artificial adrenaline booster, takes second place. On TV, i watch some golf, some soccer from Europe, bicycle racing eg, Tour de France.

I disagree.  I don't pay much attention to sports or sports figures but apparently quite a few other people do.  If Lebron James gets a dollar per person he entertains then that doesn't seem very unreasonable, does it?  He just happens to have millions of customers.

What I find far more disturbing is how these sports figures are constantly in the news but the guys at NASA who flew a mid-sized sedan 450 million miles through outer space and landed it remotely on a planet nobody has set foot on was in the news for like 2 days.  It shows you the level of intelligence that dominates this country.

'the level of intelligence that dominates this country'.?  Surely, this is not the forum to address such an issue.  USA intelligence left the building when golf came to town.

Watch: golf, then soccer, Play: golf, Tennis/table tennis Golf has left everything else in the shade, not even bothered about soccer anymore! Tried to get back into karate again, but it didn't suit my time schedule, so it's just golf golf golf now. Just got my eldest son into it, and now the wife has threatened to have a go as, apparently, she has amazing hand/eye coordination and thinks she'll be a natural! Gonna take her down the range to see if her predictions are true!

[boogielicious]

I said yes, but it would a tie between golf and NFL football.  I find golf very relaxing to watch.  I like it more when they show tee shots and approach shots than putting though.  Too much putting in a broadcast is sleep inducing.
