- Why Golf is Such A Great Game
The game of GOLF!
Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of players being honorable people who don't need referees.
Golfers don't obviously scratch their privates on the golf course.
Golfers don't kick dirt on other people.
Golfers are compensated in direct proportion to how well they play.
Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight when they travel between tournaments.
Golfers don't hold out for more money or demand new contracts because of another player's deal.
When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them or back them up.
The PGA Tour raises more money for charity in one year than the National Football League does in two.
You can watch the best golfers in the world up close at any tournament, including the majors, all day, every day, for $25 or $30. The cost for a seat in the nosebleed section at the Super Bowl will be around $300 or more.
In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a season.
Golf doesn't change its rules to attract fans.
Golfers keep their clothes on while they are being interviewed.
Golf doesn't have free agency.
In his prime Greg Norman would shake your hand and say he was happy to meet you. In his prime Jose Canseco wore T-shirts that read, "Leave Me Alone."
Golfers can't abuse drugs and alcohol and be successful.
You can hear birds chirping on the golf course during a tournament. You will hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty name-calling in sports stadiums and arenas while you're hoping that no one spills beer on you.
Golf is an honorable game.
It is healthy too, and Seniors can enjoy the game as long as they can remember where they hit their drives.
