RedAndWhite91 Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 John Daly is the exception to the rule. I'm not saying that. You're saying a golfer couldn't play against Millwall.....well could a Saints player play against Lee Westwood? No. The footballer would chop the ball around and be nowhere close to competing with the pro golfer, just as the golfer would jog around and not be able to compete with the football team. God some of you are so ****ing THICK! I beg to differ on the '****ing THICK!' remark, but that's a different debate. A golfer could not play against Millwall, he would not have the physical capabilities to run almost constantly for 90 minutes, let alone do everything else a professional footballer needs to do during a game. I reckon a footballer could go to a golf course, and walk around with Westwood, chatting about things, whilst playing golf together. Granted, Westwood would beat him comfortably, but he would be able to keep up. Not in the sense of keeping up with the score, but he'd be able to physically keep up with Westwood. Which was the debate in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Will Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 Golfers have to be fit, because they have to keep their minds fresh for up to 6 hours during a tournament round of golf, sometimes they play in extreme heat, they travel all over the world - much more than a footballer does - they play 6 days a week (including the practice days) plus they have to practice in between.

Ok, ok, no need to get so riled about it. I still stick by my point about the comparison between two professional games. You can raise the levels of each side as much as you like to bend the argument your way, but I won't change my view that 90 minutes of professional football and the training is more demanding than a few days walking round a golf course professionally. Can we argue about something else now please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we argue about something else now please? Firstly, footballers do half a day's work and then relax all afternoon. Golfers are at it ALL DAY. Footballers have to run around a lot, but golfers have to travel to a different part of the world every week, going through different time zones....if you've travelled extensively you'd know that's not easy - being fit makes it easier. Footballers very rarely play in 40 degrees heat with humidity on top of that....you see some heat in the world cup sometimes, and you see how the players struggle. Then they get 2 or 3 days off. Golfers play 6 days in a row, including practice days, then they jet off and play another 6 days in a row, in extreme heat on occasion. You're looking at it in a very simple way...golfers walk, footballers run. How intellectual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're looking at it in a very simple way...golfers walk, footballers run. How intellectual. Yes, I agree with this. Golfers play all day. I'm not a golfer myself, but I can imagine how hard it must be to walk at leisure around a reasonably flat green area, hittig a ball with a stick. They must be exhausted by the end of it. I also agree that sitting on a plane must be tough and can see why they have to be so fit. It really isn't easy flying from one place to another. As for the playing in the heat, again, very tricky, especially when you're walking about the course trying to hit that little ball. That is another relevant point.....the ball a footaller uses is much larger than the ball a golfer uses. It must be much harder on the golfers eyes to see the tiny ball they use (in comparison to the football). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the "sitting on a plane", it's the time zones, the jet lag, the lack of sleep. It is a well known fact that if you're fitter, you can recover from jet lag quicker.

jawillwill Posted 3 December, 2009 Share Posted 3 December, 2009 here's you!! I've got a few issues with this "anatomy". It just seems a wee bit out-dated. Not like 19C's opinion of golf, but more in a "well isn't everyone like that" kinda way. Lets start analysing the diagram in a clockwise direction. Firstly, what has poor eyesight got to do with being a geek? A lot of people of that man's age need glasses. I wear them. Does that make me a geek? My 102 year old grandmother needs them...does that make her a geek? Ozzy Osborn wears them. Does that make him a geek? I'm not sure what a perl shirt is? I'm assuming it means polo shirt? I wear lots of polo shirts. My girlfriend wears them every now and again in bed. Real geeks can't brag about this sort of stuff. My (and probably most other people's) image of a sterotypical geek is of a scrawny little kid with about a 28'' waist. Fat people can't be geeks. It's just kind of wrong. Ask Jill. I have a watch. I helps me to tell the time and is particuarly useful when travelling between differnt time zones, which I do about 3 times a week as part of my profession as a professional scrabble player. Pants? Does this mean pants? Or trousers? It is my understanding that english geeks like to use american terminology for stuff like this. If it does mean pants though, surely every has a good pair? You know (possibly) for those special occasions :smt008 My 102 year old grandmother has a cat, as do 13 million other Britons according to 2001 cencus data. A cell phone? Is this something prisoners use? Geeks don't go to prison. And a lot of those who do have mobile phones. Multiple computers? Hello! Welcome to the 21st century buddy. Tiger Woods has about 9 in his house (that'll be closer to about 4 and a half in a few weeks though I expect). Toy Story! One of the most popular animated films of all time. My nephew has lots of toy story toys. Perhaps this guy is just a nice family man. There's nothing wrong, or geeky, about that! I have a messy desk. I just can't be arsed to clean it. People think best (geeks do a lot of thinking) in a clean and tidy environment. Why would a geek be messy for? Is it geeky to like beer? Pro golfers drink tons of the stuff on the job! Is it now a crime to have crockery in your house? Perhaps he likes popcorn. I like popcorn, am I a geek? The tramp who lives outside the cinema in Portsmouth likes popcorn (well he eats it anyway), is he a geek? I saw a rat eating some old popcorn once. Is the rat a geek? Cordless phone? These days we just call them phones. I have 3 of them in my house. What is a server room? Is that like a wireless router? Surely in this day an age a lot of people have them? I can't even see a library of computer books in the photo? And again, what is a computer book? Is it just like a book? Some people like reading books. They can help them pass the time, fill them with knowledge or even be used as bog roll in emergencies. And finally, why is everyone using the term "geek" as a derogatory term? I'd love to be a geek.
