Not like in cricket where it is possible not to time the ball and still get a four (like a nick) or a dropped catch.

But in cricket you have to hit a moving ball , while in golf you have to hit a sitting duck . Its not like the golf ball is coming towards you at 140 kmph and reverse swinging .It just lies there , waiting to be hit .

Cricket is much harder .

Have you even played golf?

 

[masterblaster]

Yep, Golf is hard but its a beautiful game. Ive played a couple of times, and I must say I haven't faired too well.

Id love to take it up seriously though, but I dont have the time or the money at this stage.

Very philosophical there PY.

Youve got to hit a smaller ball a lot further with an impliment with a surface area about 40 times smaller than a cricket bat...

Chopra had his best finish on the USPGA Tour with a T8 finish at the Buick Open . Vijay won it with 23 under par.

On the Japan PGA Tour, Jyoti had a T6 finish while Jeev Singh and Dinesh Chand finished T26

Interesting... I still hate golf as much as I did eight months ago.

Golf has to be one of the hardest sports I have ever taken part in.

Everything has to be absolutely perfect to get the ball to go where you want it, otherwise you will slice/hook it or miss it all together

ive been to a golf driving range once, and played once, it certainly is quite difficalt

that said, it certainly has alot less different disiplines than cricket.

Well, that kind depends on how many different shots are required in any one round.

Look I'll be frank with you guys and girls, my best is 92.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Mine's 69, I used to play quite a bit!

Now, I'd spend most of my time hitting it sideways I'd imagine.

I played yesterday against a friend of mine, I nearly beat him-he's a good golfer. I did however force him to start ten over par and only use 6 clubs. I finished with 98 strokes, not real good but not hopeless.

 

[Slats4ever]

woo hoo... i'm so happy i've refound my passion for golf. not like it was ever gone i spose....

I blitzed it today... I finished with a 3 over 74. I was 2 over through 2 which i spose makes the feat even better in my opinion. and it wasn't an arsey round I just hit the ball so amazingly well!!!

 

[Hoggy31]

I got a hole-in-one at mini golf once...

And Tiger Woods was like "wow man your good, would you like to join the tour" and i was like "Nah, im too big for that circuit"

 

[Slats4ever]

yeah i've got a hole in one once... on a 200 metre par 3

 

[Hoggy31]
