The fact that a 59 year old can compete at that level shows that golf is a game, like chess, not a sport. I mean can you imagine Capello picking Kevin Keegan as England's centre forward in the world cup?

No unlike football in golf you need a brain and it doesn't matter as much about your fitness hence the reason they can play a lot older in age.

I am fitter than Watson - hence it is no more a sport than darts, pool, snooker, poker etc

Sport implies physical fitness.

Yeah sport requires fitness,golfs not a sport!
Absolutely no skill required,no dedication or ours of practice needed either!

That was a great acheivement by Watson yesterday even to finish second, unbelievable, he done great even making the cut, its tirering for a man of his age, to go 4 days solid in a compertition of that level, ok i know he plays in the seniors but so does everyone over 50, , the open tournaments are a different kettle of fish compared to the Seniors, The man is a golfing legand an rightyly so he is recognised as one,

2.A particular form of this activity.
3. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

Definitions of sport - Think you will find golf fits in there pretty well



Even at 59 i think you will find Watson is very fit for his age and plenty of other golfers are as well - i would even suggest that players like Woods are one of the fittest sportmen around .

Golf requires supreme fitness , skill, stamina, determination , a bit of luck , a lot of thinking and cleverness - pretty much like all sports

Sent ye an invite mate.

[Gerrard30391]

Both level through 1

but red ® decides to do a spot of gardening up the second and hit a 6 over par 11, its Gerrard (G) with a five shot advantage after 2. Should've been more but G 3 putted.

[Red-er-Dare]

Me, greenfingers

[Gerrard30391]

Ouch R misses a par putt to take a shot off G but misses it, both bogey 3.

[Gerrard30391]

Ohhh red your 6 down now lad! Par for G outdoes R's bogey.
