Tiger Woods

[Borak]

Did Woods play a game of basketball with a torn ACL and two stress fractures?

Because golf has no physical strain what so ever?

I'm not saying i think Woods is a better athlete than Jorden (both awesome) but you're ignorance towards what it actually takes to do anything with those types of injuries (never mind swinging a golf club a few hundred times - imagine the pain on your knees) is disappointing.
I don't mind watching a bit of golf but agree it can get boring, still one hell of an effort from Woodsy.

Since when are golfers athletes? You might as well call Lawn bowlers and Dart players athletes then.

At the top level physical fitness is very important, particularly endurance and upper body strength. Tiger is arguably as physically fit as anyone in any sport.

You can say that about any sport. And golf probably has alot more pro golfers than you think. There are more pros out there than just those on the card at the American dominated PGA tour.

I actually watch more European golf than PGA golf. But perhaps I should have clarified - I mean those good enough to be competitive consistently at the highest level. The percentage is extremely small.

Here is a little tidbit about Jordan if you think playing golf with a sore leg is phenomenal.

I follow the NBA very closely and Jordan is probably the greatest exponent of playing through pain there's ever been (though I like the cutting open an infected toe story better).

However, if playing five rounds of majors golf with a torn ACL and stress fractures is a "sore leg", then Jordan just played with a few sniffles.

Either way, ignorant people like yourself who refuse to acknowledge what they don't like/understand annoy and amuse me.
