I agree, and you can play from sea and from land. No golf course needed.

8) Very boring to attend as a spectator live.
9) Many players mistakenly think they are good.
10) The general advice is to immediately get a coach so you don't develop bad habits.
11) Hole in One = Runner Runner


I disagree with #2, anyone CANNOT win in golf. You are not going out on the course and beating a PGA golfer...ever!

None of your 1-7 remotely apply to golf.

Pokers the new solitaire maybe?

I do not agree with this.
In any case, you will spend your time. Time is out of price.

In my opinion, it is not right to compare poker and golf. Golf is a very expensive sport if practiced in accordance with the rules and standards.

True ,you can't compare a indoor sport to an outdoor sport

Poker is the new poker! Add to the list. Poker is the new swimming competition, croquet, darts, billiards and fishing tournament.

Agree, and as much as you play the better player you bocome and the more you like the game!

I do not agree that everyone can play poker. There are many poor countries where people think about water and food, not poker. If you are feeling well, it does not mean that everyone else is also feeling well.

Each game has its own distinct characteristics.
