As I'm sitting watching a rain delay in the PGA Championship I'm reminded of the late great George Carlin's quote to the effect that watching golf on TV is like watching two flies fuck. I just tried to call what looks like a beautiful blonde on Backpage but her phone goes right to voicemail which has not been set up and the phone won't take text messages, so I may just break down and go to a strip club. I've already taken the grand kids swimming, cooked lunch, and cleaned up, sent the kids home and sat down with the Boston Globe and the Sunday NY Times, but I want something else today and I might just find it.
Anyone else watching golf or does a strip club sound better?

Yeah I'm watching golf -- so riddle me this?
Why is the Chief Championships Officer of the PGA of America a Brit.
That Kerry Haigh bloke is from England. It's the PGA of AMERICA not the PGA of the UK!

Golf on TV is good for mindless TV drivel while nursing a hangover, since everybody whispers. Watching golf in person is unthinkable.

a couple of my buddies went to a PGA tour event a couple weeks ago. They said it was the most boring thing they ever did. They also said they didn;t take the free headphones so they basically had no idea what was going on all day as well.

They only thing more boring than playing golf is watching it.

Dodger, Tommy Lasorda thought golfers were weak, cuz it had to be perfectly quiet for them to hit a stationary ball. As opposed to baseball batters.

If Lasorda said it then it must be so. God bless Tommy Lasorda.

Golf has got to be the most boring “sport†to watch – they were actually considering making detainees in Guantanamo watch it but it was decided water boarding was more humane.

w.r.t. the Backpage blonde; a non-working ph # is part of the course with these less than reliable females – if you are really in the mood then hit the SC – it’s best to hit the SC when one is really in the mood.

For all you PL's that don't watch golf - you're missing an incredible day. Best last day of a major in years. 5 guys within a shot of the lead.

There is a nice Korean tofu restaurant that I frequent and the only thing that they ever have on the TV there is women's golf. I have to admit some of the Korean gals are really quite cute. They'd have a hole-in-one with me every time.

Well, the SC won. Met a new 25 yo spinner - VIP, BBBJCIM, DATY, GFE, . Made my day. Who won the PGA? Who cares?

Lopaw -
I'm not really a fan of Michelle Wie. (But I guess it's not her fault her controlling parents nearly ruined her).
But she looks mighty fine with those long legs and short skirts or shorts.

"If Lasorda said it then it must be so. God bless Tommy Lasorda."
Word. There is no greater guy on the planet than Tommy Lasorda. Well, maybe I'm overstating, but I love the guy.
And yes, watching golf is very relaxing. As long as it's on TV. I can't imagine in person trying to run like crazy to get a decent spot at the next hole, then wait 1/2 hour for the players to get there, cameras to get ready, and some guy to hit the ball.
But playing golf is wonderful, especially on a really nice course. Hawaii? Damn, some great golf. It's not only about the game, it's about walking on a beautiful course with great scenery and having fun. And a beer and a hot dog on the 9th hole.

On Saturday night, Danny Garcia KO'D this cat in the first round. That fight was in Brooklyn. I felt that shot all the way in Cali. It hurt. Y'all can keep golf. I'll stick the more barbaric sports.

Lopaw,
I have heard that the spectators at LPGA tournaments can be more entertaining than the golfers.
Golfer and golf watching fan here, and the PGA yesterday was the best tournament I have watched in years! Rory sucked it up and played perfectly on the back nine. Saying that, the longest day of my life was going to a pro golf tournament. The Masters is a great experience though.

I never watched golf until I started playing myself. I watch a lot of golf now but I can't see how a non-player would find it all that interesting.

While many of y'all were busy watching golf, Clayton Kershaw turned an amazing diving, double-play.

I once had the honor of hearing Tommy Lasorda speak at a dinner for a local university. One thing he said I'll always remember, and I paraphrase, Playing baseball is one of the most difficult endeavors. Would you you go to a doctor that was successful 33% of the time and he is considered GOOD?

Slick...multitasker here and I saw the golf AND Kershaw's great play. He was off a bit yesterday seems like as he gave up 6 hits and walked a couple. Never thought I would see another Koufax but.....
