Is Golf Just A Euphamism?

I have been the owner of a copy of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007" since it was released back in september, and have been hopelessly hooked ever since.

As I have progressed with the game, I have become increasingly aware that much of the language used is suspiciously innuendo in nature.

Here are a few examples:

"It should be straight in the hole if it's stroked properly"

"He got good length from that driver"

"It needs to be driven between the prominent mounds"


I just get the feeling that there are alot of old codgers that wander around golf courses sniggering at each other all day.

Still, I guess that golf is a game where two people play a round with each other, and the object being shooting into a plastic cup.

lol

Res...

Is there any other sports where innuendo can exist?

Anything that involves the words BALLS, or HOLES is bound to get some snickering from me!!!!!

Dude. It's a sport. Anytime you get some guys togehter playing a game, it's gonna be laced with sexual jokes. A guy thinks of sex roughly 24 hrs a day. It only stands to reason that some of it is gonna show in other activities.

Golf would actually be a tamer sport for guys. You're only hearing it like you are because you've been playing a video game. Go play a real game a golf or any other sport, you'll hear plenty of dirty jokes by the end of the day.

innuendo exists wherever we want it to. for example -

years ago i became a plumber so that i could use terms like ball cock and nipple in polite society without getting slapped.

i suppose it's all a matter of perspective.:upsidedow

Golf aint a sport, its a hobby. It takes no athleticism. Thats why its for retired peoiple

(yes that is really what golf stands for)

If you want innuendo, listen to a dog show commentator.

"Would you look at that bitch! Look at that bitch walk!"

its actully an acronym for Go Outside you Lazy Fucker. pardon my french.

Neither are sports. :jointsmile:

If you can get sore from playing it, then it's a sport to me. Golf is a sport. Cheerleading is a sport. Washing a car could be a sport if there was a score system involved.

If you practice several times a week for a competition, then it's absolutely a sport. At least in my eyes.

Anything competitive that requires practice and discipline and excerise is a sport to me.
