SPURRIER PISSES ON AUGUSTA.
Golf is a worthless game, and nothing approximating a sport. It’s croquet with more expensive equipment; it’s hockey without defenders, ice, and with an undersized goal. It’s hurling for sissies. If given the choice between watching an entire golf tournament or being kicked in the balls and then being free to leave, we’d take the Rochambeau happily. Adding twenty bucks to the offer on the golf side adds nothing.
We hate hate hate hate hate hate hate golf.
We also hate it because we remain convinced that without its siren song, Steve Spurrier’s offense would have actually invented, implemented, and perfected every possible offensive scheme in the years between 1990 and 2000 and averaged eighty points a game, instead of merely obliterating most opponents by twenty-eight and only winning one national championship.
Damn whoever sent this to Will Leitch first–but Steve Spurrier just did the only worthwhile thing that’s ever happened in the history of the game, aside from that time Colin Montgomerie raped a chicken in front of a cheering crowd during the U.S. Open.
Steve Spurrier pissed on Augusta National.

Spurrier improves the game of golf by one zillion percent. Golf sucks.

Two things:
1. Golf is all I have this time of year and it gets me to football season. You are wrong OS.
2. Taking a leak on a golf course requires at least getting back into the tree’s to do so. Standing on the edge and pissing in is no good. Nobody wants to watch thanks.

Alcohol would be a better investment of your time. At least you cut your risk of skin cancer while keeping the best part of golf: drinking.

I too have pissed on the Augusta National, but I was a lot more discreet about it, as I was pretty sure I was going to be arrested if I was caught.

1. That is assuming you are drinking indoors, Orson.
2. FYI, the original photos on Deadspin have Spurrier posing with the caddie in front of #4 at ANGC in the second photograph.
It appears that the photo was taken on the right side of the #5 fairway.
3. This caddie is a dumbass, because everyone will know he did it, and former chairman, and USC alum and former player, Hootie will be sufficiently pissed. I hope the anonymous 5 minutes of fame was worth it, dipshit, because you are about to lose the opportunity to play on Caddie Day, which as in CaddieShack, also exists at the ANGC.

Before my two kids,I used to play quite often. I would often tell friends that were looking to take up the game to consider cocaine instead as it is cheaper and less addictive.

Orson, is there a sport other than football that you enjoy? The only other references to other sports I recall reading on here are to basketball (hate) and now golf (hate).

Hookem, there’s probably a whole good piece in there about why we hate golf. Game for next week, anyone, on our opus about why we hate golf? Or is that too autobiographical?
Oh, and personal things aside–it’s boring as shit, and we’ve got a serious case of nagging ADD. Geology’s sexy in comparison.

Kanu–worse. It bored us.

Methinks Orson hates golf because he has terrible difficulty in hitting the ball. Pussy.
That said, Augusta kicks ass, etc. etc. Making par on 12 is cake.

Soccer isn’t boring? News to me. Much like baseball, you have to wait inordinate amounts of time to see important action.

Orson Swindle says:
Soccer actually has tons of stuff going on all at once–it’s just usually filmed from eight miles above the stadium, which makes it look like nothing’s going on.
Dan–everyone has trouble hitting the ball, one of the reasons golf sucks. We are a horrible, talentless athlete without an ounce of skill. But we’re in the majority in that respect.

I am getting my pilot’s license, and recently I realized that it would be cheaper to go to a strip club and get nothing but lap dances the whole time than to rent a plane and pay the instructor for the same duration. Which would would I rather do though…flying.

Also, when contacted, Ole Ball Coach replied with, “He took pictures of WHAT? I told you ball coach had to piss. Yeeeeah…clickclack.” He then called R. Kelley and had a good laugh.

It is too late for me. At my age, I have neither the time nor the inclination to spend the 100s of hours learning to appreciate the games subtleties. What it looks like to me is 85 minutes of kicking a ball back and forth and 5 minutes of serious offensive opportunity. Good luck to you, Rupert Murdoch, and every one else trying to change my mind every 4 years the World Cup rolls around.

Golf is cool – try it again sometime, stoned. I’ll 2nd the “bridge to football season” idea also. After-golf visits to the strip clubs are a nice perk for the fellas also.

Gus Witgenstein says:
I’ve heard golf referred to as pasture pool. I don’t play it cause it’s too expensive. Soccer and hockey are deathly dull to watch, it’s like an hour of foreplay. The action is cool at first, but not enough scoring.

Orson: Geology is sexy time! Where else can you give a lecture and mention beds overturned by vigorous thrusting, cleavage, dikes, and nude beaches all in the same class?
My take on soccer and scoring is that because it does not happen very often, the drama and excitement are cranked up every time there is a play developing. To me basketball is a boring sport because, unless you are in the last 2 minutes of a game, each shot means virtually nothing.

I too am not a big fan of golf, but that’s probably due to all of the swimming for clubs that’s involved.

DC Trojan says:
Golf is not a sport, it was designed by Scottish Calvinists as a metaphor for life: no matter how good you are, something will always go horribly wrong and you’ll find that out in the rain as your drive blows backwards towards you…
Which is why it really loses something being played in perfect weather on a groomed course in Florida or Georgia.

Golf is not a sport because there is no defense. Your oponent’s skill does not affect what you are attempting to achieve. You are playing (with) yourself. Hell, even pool has defense.

Whenever I’m asked if I play golf, I reply “no, my knees are still good.”
Fellas, rugby is the banana peels to football’s stickiets-of-tha-icky, if not an adequate substitute. And, for better or worse, there are no commercials during matches. Get Setanta on DirecTV.

Orson, rugby fan? Do you follow any team? Personally, I have been hooked by the golf bug… It’s that one round where everything seems to be going right, that just keeps making you play. Though I grew up with cricket, rugby, and soccer. UGA is to blame for the football passion.

Orson, just because you can’t hit a mid-wedge with backspin and nudge the pin from 110 yards away, feel bad. And if you shank your drives, feel bad. Golf is life and gives you a reason to get up early on Sunday mornings.

Second to College Football, I love World Cup Soccer.
It’s the purest global team athletic event. Any country with a ball, 2 goals and 11 guys can play, better than the Olympics where your Nordics have the winter advantage, etc.
Also national pride is at stake at a level that makes some of the greatest college interstate rivalries pale in comparison.
