It is to worship the one that created everything.

Dunno why it needs a purpose, maybe it just is. We give it one if we so desire. Downfall to being self aware I guess.

Never use a paragraph when a sentence will do.

The purpose of life is to become where that very question makes you feel sympathy for those who ponder it.

To leave the planet a little better off in some way than before you got there and to play lots of golf.

At least, we can do the latter with relative ease.

I may posted this in another tread.   A true story.  My home course has a few ponds with fish.   A guy in front group, hits a tee shot, whips out a portable fishing rod, and dips it in the pond while others are teeing off.   He did it a few times, and on the last hole, I saw him catch a fish about the size of a foot in length.   This guy definitely likes to have his cake and eat it, too.   He should be paying for his fish license, and extra $$$ to the golf course for the fishing privileg but I didn't complain.   He had no problem playing at fast enough pace while fishing B-) .

Interesting.  The only "purposes" that have gotten mocked and made fun of here are the ones involving God.

Sounds like there are a lot of "purposes" that do not include being tolerant of others' beliefs.

The only post to get any response at all was @Abu3baid 's and it got 10 negative responses of varying degrees of negativity, with one supportive.  No one else's state purpose was commented on at all by anyone else to any degree.  Yet almost one-third of the posts in this thread mock, to one degree or another, his answer.

Like I said, interesting.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play.

      This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online.

      Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.

      Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
