If you think about it, the object of golf is to play the least amount of golf.
@fribbledom Speed running before video games
@fribbledom @sexybenfranklin Which leads me to consider: how much time is too much time to set up a stroke? When is it better to save time by shooting an under-aimed stroke after another, instead of over-aiming a single stroke?

@fribbledom

In which case, I'm already a winner so I'm going to sit on my lounge resting on my laurels.

@fribbledom then i win the lifetime championship of golf
@fribbledom I’ve never played golf so I guess I win

@fribbledom Yeah all golfers are either socialists or climate justice activists.
They want to play as little golf as necessary, so others get the chance, or so we need as few golf courses as possible in order to have more space for forests and peatland.
@fribbledom That's why it is a wonderful sport haha.
@fribbledom The aim of competitive swimmers is to spend the least amount of time swimming. I've just wasted a minute of my life.

@fribbledom Usain Bolt is said to be the best runner in the world, but he only runs for less than 10 seconds. That's a bit short to judge if he's such a good runner imo
@fribbledom Seize as much land and do as little as possible on it.
@fribbledom
Golf is one of those sports, like Cricket, which is much improved if the ball is replaced with a hand grenade.
Having said that, I had a PGA Golf game on the original PlayStation that was a lot of fun - that's the only way to play, IMHO
@fribbledom I get to think about Star Wars and how best to do the "Kessel Run".
Hint: turn right just before the Shoulder of Orion.

I, on the other hand, play *lots* of golf. often my score after just 9 holes takes a good golfer 18 holes to achieve.

@fribbledom it's also a long walk, with something to do every now and then. 😉

@fribbledom

There was a great BC cartoon about this topic. Always made sense to me.

Why do it at all?

@fribbledom I'm a champion! 🏆 I play no golf at all!

@fribbledom

I must be great at it. I dont play at all.

@fribbledom

Oh, I thought it was to buy the most amount of clubs? Or aerodynamic balls. Or highly engineered tees. Or the most atrociously unfashionable clothes.
