I'm sorry but golf is a sport for wimps. Spectators have to shut up while a golfer swings so as not to break the golfer's concentration? GIVE___ME___A___BREAK!. If a chirping bird can break your concentration I've got bad news for you, you don't have the power of concentration. For purposes of comparison, let's look at a few REAL sports.

Football – Imagine the acoustically challenged domes we call football stadiums. You have 60.000 angry spectators yelling and screaming while 4, 5, 6, or even 7 truck-sized monsters with more speed than physics would tell us they should have, chasing down a quarterback with the intent of burying him under what could amount to 1,000 pounds of sweaty stinking bloody flesh *but* if the quarterback doesn't complete that pass he'll be trashed all over the tabloids the next day. Now imagine if those 60,000 spectators had to shut up and the defensive players had to freeze in place to allow the quarterback to take______his______time, wait______— for_______— a_____— receiver_____— to______be_____— open, plant______his________feet, and throooooooooooooooooooooow the ball. Heaven forbid a bird chirped and broke his concentration. He'd get to do it over.

Imagine if during a soccer game the fans had to stop singing "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be" everytime the ball was put in play so the players could concentrate.

Do fans hush up everytime a pitcher is about to wind up? I know, that's a tough one so take your time thinking about it.

Most people have the minimal facility of concentration, enough that we can sit down in a restaurant or diner, shut everything out and read a tabloid. I guess golfers weren't there when god was handing out the facility to concentrate. Oh wait. That's right...they were off golfing somewhere.

You know...the nra wants people to be allowed to carry concealed weapons into federal parks. Why don't we allow people to carry concealed weapons onto golf courses? "Oh did my glock semiautomatic go off and break your concentration just as you were taking your swing again? I'm so sorry"

Golf...give me a break.

Who the f**k is Tom Watson, who really cares and why is this in the "news" section instead of the sports drivel !!???
