Golf is a great sport. It is something that you can play as you age and hone your craft...

Try driving the Dan Ryan in Chicago. No rules. It's every man for himself. Local lanes. Express lanes. Not for the weak of heart. Cars stalled in your lane. No one lets you merge. Doing 70 on an expressway not meant for congestion and doing 70. Occasional drive by shooting. NASCAR training ground.
Cant believe he was wearing a wig while playing tennis
I love your immature weird ramblings that only make you sound full of shit. Like your daddy and his FFL or not really or kind of or maybe.
MLB players could be seen smoking in the dugout during games. Yep...even non pitchers. The ones who sweat.
The only reason there is a senior tour in golf is because it's not a contact sport nor are you physically competing against the opponent. Keeping score, yes. Being more physical than the other is not the nature of the game. Are you still required to physically move something and strike an object? YEP!
Now WTH does you having a dip in while playing baseball have anything to do with athletes or not convo? Someone,,,you,, said you can't smoke and be an athlete? Hhhmmm, ok.
Oh and by the way... just to cement yourself as the king bullshitter I used to chew for years. Copenhagen original. Probably since I could scrounge up enough change to buy it at .50 cents a can. Even cheaper some places. Your description of getting clipped with a foul tip and swallowing half of it....is NOT how it REALLY works. You can tee hee that or as you put it,,lol,,but you're just bursting at the seems completely full of shit. If you chew snuff which is what you claim via brand your lip actually forms a pocket. You don't get hit with a foul tip and accidentally swallow some. You swallow some if you choose to do so not because you got hit in the mask with a foul ball.
Perhaps you weren't sweating enough when it all happened. Maybe you weren't even playing baseball if you weren't sweating. Perhaps the whole thing is another fairy tale you picked up at the Lids kiosk. Either way your little chew story like so many others with your little "lol's" is just bullshit.
Then with more horseshit you go from being pudgy can't be athletic to smoking to sweating to....
Maybe tomorrow you can only be an athlete if you ever got stitches while swallow chew and sweating and not out of shape.
As you say, lol
As I say WTFE to your bullshit
It was just the culture." Guy Lafleur was one of the greatest players of his generation despite his pack-or-two-a-day habit, say some who played with him. Bowman says that Lafleur regularly smoked a cigarette between periods.
Whaaat?
1st. My dad does have an FFL?
2nd. both pitchers and 'non-pitchers' sweat?
3. I brought up me dipping and playing baseball because a poster rebutted my smoking point with a claim that baseball players dip... it is not the same thing.
4. I dont know how to argue you about a foul tip hitting the mask and blowing up the quid.... it 100% happens lol? Dont know why you'd disagree with that?
5. Copenhagen makes more than snuff....
And 88... if you dont believe anything I say on here... that is fine.. I dont lie on a message board because I am not a loser. I am one of the few who uses my last name (Nemeth...... first name Riley) and I have a picture of myself on my logo.... You are the one who hides behind a message board acting like you are an expert at everything.. but providing no actual references to why you are an expert ... So, if you want me to provide proof of me playing baseball, chewing (how stupid is that), my dads FFL..... just ask dude... I will make you feel even stupider and smaller than you already are... which is hard to do because you are the one on a free message board posting at like 1 in the morning.
Do you still have his poster on your wall? The one you practice yelling at, “Andre! Andre!!”
You’re getting a little too old to scrap.
You stated that if you smoke you can't be an athlete. Again you've no idea the gibberish you speak. Then when someone if you're comprehending said athletes did, do, have smoked while being an athlete you then turn that into chewing tobacco. Getting hit with a foul tip with a mask on and swallowing. None of which has anything to do with your little athlete non athlete bullshit.
I'm sure you've played baseball but you don't take a foul tip to the mask and that makes you swallow your chew. That's the bullshit part. I'm not sure why you insist on following that up everytime with a little tee hee (lol) type thing. It's not funny because that's not really what happens.
Copenhagen makes more than snuff? Uuhhh? WTF and WhoTF cares what they make. Has nothing to do with the subject at hand and certainly has nothing to do with you swallowing after a foul tip to the mask. That's the specific part that you're extra full of BS about. It just doesn't happen that way.
Using a real name online? So? WTH does that have to do with your ever changing athlete or not threshold. Wgat dies your real name have to do with your BS tee hee story of swallowing chew after taking a foul tip in the mask. That's beyond hilarious to me. Yeah you sound like a kid saying I chewed and jumped my bike and when I landed swallowed my chew. Said that to be thought of as cool and in the cool club. A total bullshit story just to try to sound cool.
This is about athletes or not. It goes beyond your lidz kiosk world of having to sweat only to be an athlete. Or you can't smoke a cigarette to be a real athlete. Or be pudgy. Or...whatever else you think is (lol worthy) to fit some bizarre narrative that you can only be an athlete if.....

yaaa.... as usual I think you are picking and choosing what to read and what to think.
I will keep it simple for you... if you dont sweat it aint a sport. Golf, darts, bowling, archery, skeet/trap..... not sports. Thats my opinion. If you think darts is in fact a sport... thats your opinion and thats cool. No need for you to get worked up for me using 'lol'... also no reason for you to believe or not what happens when a foul tip catches your mask lol!
Sorry @nemeth#5, but I cannot let that conclusion go unchallenged, at least as it pertains to golf. If you don't sweat when you play golf, you are riding in a cart. If you walk 18 holes, you will perspire, even in mild temperatures. I think you said you grew up in Texas; if you can walk a course there in the summer and not sweat, you have ice water in your veins.
The average golf course, played from the men's tees, is a little over 4 miles long. Pros are playing tracks that probably average around 4.2 miles. But that is a measurement from the tee box to the flagstick, and doesn't include all the additional walking they do during the course of a round. A few years back I was curious about just how much actual walking I did in a round of golf, including walking from the green to the next tee box, walking from the tee to where my shot came to rest (frequently not in the fairway), surveying shots around the green, etc. I took GPS measurements over the course of about 6 or 7 rounds. The average distance walked, if I recall, totaled about 6.3 miles.
PGA professionals play courses that sometimes have a 5 minute walk from a green to the next tee box. When you include all the additional walking around they do over and above a recreational golfer, I have to think they are probably walking close to 7 miles in a round of golf, and possibly more.
A few years ago I read an interview that Boris Becker gave about playing golf. He had retired from tennis and was taking up golf seriously, including playing as an amateur in some tournaments. I remember he expressed surprise with how physically demanding playing 4 days of tournament golf and walking the course could be. He said he did not expect that. And I should think you will agree that Becker was a very fit dude when he was at the top of his tennis game.
Is playing 18 holes like running a marathon? No. But trust me, PGA professionals work up a sweat during the course of a round. Maybe they aren't dripping sweat, except in really hot and humid playing conditions, but they are perspiring. The average weekend Joe thinks golf isn't a physically demanding sport because when he plays he rides in a cart and tosses back a 6-pack or more during the round. But when you are talking about professional golfers, it is a different story entirely.
For sure... I grew up in BFE Western Nebraska but live in Dallas now.... and you are right... you walk outside here you sweat. Hell, it is almost 90 degrees today. But you kinda proved my point there.., "If you walk, you perspire...." So if the most taxing thing about golf if walking..... aint a sport lol. Like I said, this is my opinion. My opinion is if walking is the most likely reason you perspire while playing... it aint a sport lol. But, I will admit I have walked 18 holes only a few times in my life.... I spend so much time trying to find my ball, I have to use a cart.... that and the copious amounts of beer i bring!
That’s one tournament I have to get to still. I’ve gone to the Miami Open and the other Masters 1000 outside of Cincinnati.
It’s very entertaining in person and if you get a great match on TV live from NYC there isn’t much better. Major golf, tennis, and college football are the greatest.
I know nothing about tennis but Palm Dessert California is so cool... Dessert on one side, mountains on the other. I stayed at the Omni and they had a lot of the players staying there so you could go watch them practice at night. That was awesome as well.
Do you know if Dallas ever hosts any major Tennis matches? I would like to check out another one sometime.
The RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas (formerly known as Challenger of Dallas) is a professional tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. It is currently part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger Tour. It is held annually at the T Bar M Racquet Club in Dallas, Texas, United States, since 1998.
