I'm not neutral. I like them both. That's not neutral. Neutral would be if I didn't care one way or the other about either one. And did I mention that they're both worthy of beer???

i mean let's apply this in the real world.
strike... if i were to say to you "hey... you wanna go play some tennis?"
"no you phagg... and quit looking at my ass"
or "hey strike you wanna go play some golf?"
"yeah... i'll grab some beer"

Tennis is much more of a sport than golf.
Any shmuck can swing a golf club, not many people can run around on a tennis court for 2 hours.
tennis > golf
Posted 26 February 2007 - 09:26 AM
And shmuck can play any sport...but not well.
That anyone can swing a golf club means what? Nothing...not any shmuck can consistently hit the fairway, or scramble out of the rough, or chip well when you need it, or hit a ridiculous approach with a ton of spin to stop the ball on a dime....
Your argument here sucks...as usual.

where did I say you didn't need to keep it in the fairway?
FACT: On a high school level. you need to be in decent shape to play tennis, forget everything else about the sport.
FACT: On a high school level. you can weigh 250 pounds and barely be able to walk to play golf, forget everything else about the sport.
Let's go skippy, try to keep up here
I said Tennis was more of a sport than Golf, Tennis is MUCH harder to play than Golf. Why do more people golf? I'm sure more people think it is more fun. also because they don't have to be in shape to play.

B and C are totally and completely subjective points.More people play golf for several reasons...
A. You don't have to have someone to play against.
B. It is an easier sport for an amateur to enjoy no matter what his/her skill level is.
C. It is 10X more fun than tennis.

That they are...and C even moreso and more of a joke.B and C are totally and completely subjective points.

Like a moth to a flame, sho nuff to an edjr post.Weighing more means that it is more of a sport?
There is a difference between being more "athletic" of a sport, or a sport where you need to be in shape...than it is to be more of a sport.
Its much harder to be in a triatholon than play tennis does that make it more of a sport?

No need to try and keep up...Im just tearing apart your completely ridiculous argument...you should be used to that by now...from everyone on the board...

It's rare that 2 athletes completely dominate their respective sports at the same time.
Posted 26 February 2007 - 10:03 AM
rare?
tiger, federer, sorenstam, jordan, armstrong, williams sisters, sampras...bit harder to do in baseball-football-hockey
that's a lot of rarity in the last 10 to 15 years
how bout the 80s? Rice, tyson, gretzky, navratilova, bird-magichulk hogan

But if Tennis were so fun and great...you think more people would play...as it costs a hell of alot less.
Once you have a racket and balls...uh...he said balls...uh huh huh huh.... you can pretty much play for free.
Posted 26 February 2007 - 11:05 AM
golf has roughly 30 million players and tennis, 25 million...
golf has had a 6% decrease since 2000 and tennis, a 1.1% increase...
tennis wont ever catch up to golf in numbers..there are always old people and fat people who can hit a ball.. hop into a cart and ride to the next spot..that simply cant play tennis...
im not bashing either...im a usta member, play tennis alot..but also work at a golf driving range...i love both..
just stating facts...
even tiger admits, roger is more dominant..they are pals and tiger says that all the time...

because you're too uncoordinated to play that makes it gay?

i dont argue that and the topic isnt....who inspires more kids to play?...
golf will always have more serious players..
the topic was..who is more dominant..
both sports have players from all over the globe..tennis, moreso..
tiger said roger is more dominant...i think that has more of a vote than anyone else...
just because people dont like a sport, doesnt mean it isnt difficult..
people comment on how ghey figure skating must be..but that aside, anyone who has ever skated knows how much skill THAT sport takes..
i think a lot of the allure of golf is being in the woods..on the grass...with nature...with all of these high tech clubs and balls and jacking them over 300 yards...
america as a whole is becoming too lazy to play tennis and chase a ball on the baseline for 2 hours...
you cant help but sweat when u play tennis...
you only sweat in golf when its over 85 degrees...
Posted 26 February 2007 - 04:41 PM
how did we arrive at the conclusion that golf has more players than tennis? i would guess that tennis does. remember, both draw players from around the world.

Have you ever seen a Golfer come home physically tired from their practice?
A tennis pro's daily schedule
A perfect breakfast - no junk so the body fat count can stay 4-9%
A two hour intense workout on the court - where you actually sweat and get winded
Hit the weight room hard for 1-2 hours - you ever see the abs of a professional tennis player?
Hell in college I was going 12 straight minutes of abs 4 days a week.
A perfect lunch
Another two hour intense workout
Now comes the hard part - conditioning that matches to any sport in the world
Once you are so physically tired it's time for the trainer/whirpool etc.
Go home eat a perfect meal and maybe slip a coke in there.
There used to be a guy named Thomas Muster - claycourt champion of the world - ran 5 miles every day after his daily regime. These guy's are elite athletes fitness wise. Have you ever seen a fat professional tennis player?
Hell John fat ass daily smokes while he is playing. Drinks nightly and is not an athlete. He's just good at golf. Plus you can't call it a sport if your wearing Dockers. It's must be hard walking 18 holes while someone else carries your bag.

And that means what?
Is football less of a sport?
Have you seen some kicker's workouts?
Have you seen how big some linemen are?
Ever hear of the Gilbert burger that they had for Gilbert Brown?
And yes, I have known golfers who were physically tired after practice...go spend hours working on your swing hitting ball after ball after ball...if you then tell me you are not sore...you are lying.
The question is not which takes more athleticism or endurance or to be in better shape...nobody in this thread is arguing it...thanks for a completely irrelevant post.
And only fitting that the main idiot of all would post in support of such a post.

As I said before, I have never seen anyone dominate golf like Tiger has. If Federer keeps playing at this level the same will be said about him.I think Tiger is just propping Roger because he is a friend, and more importantly he is being prodded and/or incentivized by Nike to revitalize tennis and generate more $$$.

I knew a girl in college who was on the crew team. I played baseball and golf. She dissed me at some point about my sports not being "sports." I pointed out to her that sports are not just tests of endurance, different sports require different levels of skill. To me crew is the extreme example: you can be in fantastic physical shape, allowing you to row that oar to the coxswain's cadence. Does that make you a better athlete? IMO, no, that makes you more physically fit.Football has nothing to do with this.
Golf hours and hours of hitting balls - - 500 - 1000 balls is a good golf day - way to practice
That's one hour on the tennis court - - don't compare which one makes you more tired.

In other words, if your point is that Federer is more aerobically fit, congrats you win. But IMO that doesn't make him the better athlete.
