Sorry. --Vic- I've never thought of boxing as a "drunken wedding hokey-pokey". Interesting. Golf is a bit like ballet. Far more atheletic than it appear, requires a fine touch, in reality is difficult to do well, and can be boring to watch. Good analogy. :- |

"Jack" wrote Golf is a bit like ballet. Far more atheletic than it appear, requires a fine touch, in reality is difficult to do well, and can be boring to watch. Good analogy. I agree that golf is boring in person. It's like watching a movie being filmed. B-O-R-I-N-G. On TV, though, they can change cameras to different holes, the action is pretty continuous, you only have to walk to the fridge and bathroom, and the beers aren't $7. Steve |
