I can't help but think that anything that keeps a person from playing golf, even if the person thinks that she or he wants too, is probably a good thing -- including discrimination. Sometimes, humans just to be protected from the miserable things we might want to do. :lol:

Some day, the world will rid itself of things like war, pestilence, golf, poverty ...

This reminds me of the controversy over the olympic runner. She really did look like a muscular man in female costume and if I remember correctly, she won by quite a margin.

Perhaps one day sport will disregard "gender" like we disregard "race". While we're at it, nationality aswell!

You're right: wacking the grass with a stick doesn't require any particular skill or strength. Wacking a ball and hitting it in a certain direction and a reasonable length, however, does.

Why anyone would want to do it, though, is beyond me.

Apparently it is really relaxing...:confused:

Thats what they want you to think. Yelling at a ball in the hot sun isnt relaxing haha

Perhaps the Mayans were on to something(a precursor to the 2012 ending of the world;))?:eek:

Nope. Me getting a date with Fran or Bionca would be a precursor to the end of the world.

Actually, being on a date with either Fran or Bionca would be like the end of the world has already occurred as it would be heavenly!:)
