Golf? At the Olympics?

Now if you enjoy playing golf that's fair enough (although personally I'm of Oscar Wilde's opinion that it's a good walk spoiled) but how can you possibly get any enjoyment out of watching someone else play golf?

Boggles my mind.

They should bring Darts in.

They have archery & javelin, so why not a good old game of arrows?

Of course, without Sid it won't be quite as good

Even better!

Reminds me of the legendary Claudine Longet Invitational...

Maybe the average shape and size of the competitors doesn't sit well with the Olympic sporting image. Although they don't mind it on the hammer throwers.

Or some of the water polo players.

I honestly thought greenpeace would show up at one point.

s'ok - if anyone is a fan of sports book, check out John Feinstien's A Good Walk Spoiled: Days and Nights on the PGA Tour.

It is a fantastic read, yes it's about GOLF, but don't let that put you off if you're a non golfer, if you like sport and reading about sport - you'll enjoy this book.

I like the idea of darts.
Thought Dog Sledding would also be a good addition!
As a Malamute owner, my dogs would love it, they loved watching the equestrian (on tv).

as a Husky companion i also like idea of God sledding, but i guess that your talking more about winter olympic that summer (yes i know, sled/sledg with wheels are used for non-snow conditions)
