that would be like saying jenga is a sport because it needs you to move arms and torso, as well as having eye to to hand co-ordination. come on man, in gold you stand, swing the golf bat, ride a freaking car and have somebody else hold your shit. fat 60 years olds play it. its in no way a sport, its insulting to all sports and people who play sports to call it a sport.

Jenga is a game. Infact Jenga is more a sport than video games are. You are talking about Elite Golfers right there and only them (or maybe stupidly rich people/lazy americans). A random guy who likes golf and plays at his local course does so with his clubs and pulls his clubs along without a caddy and probably walks it all. A pro-gamer does no more movement than I do when playing games. Which is to say none.

my arguement is golf isnt a sport.
my posts in this thread also say that video games arent a sport. not even close.

Golf is, without a doubt, a sport. It requires a precision, timing, and coordination unlike anything else. You swing something that hits a ball just like every other major sport. I honestly don't see how you can say it's not. Fat 60 year olds play tennis too. Is that not a sport? That argument isn't really a valid one, as many different types of people play each sport. Just because it happens to be stereotyped that only old geezers play it in retirement doesn't mean it isn't a sport.
