I'm curious...do you like any sport?

I'm a huge basketball fan and generally like a lot of different sports.

I'm a fan of Tennis, Football and occasionally Soccer, Basketball and Baseball.

I like golf about as much as I like curling.

I used to drive past this one on occasion; it might strike you as a bit less offensive. : )

Clearly. Otherwise you may have ended up liking golf despite his ending up viewing it as a ruined walk.

dude, it's his quote. And "otherwise" if he had been blessed to play golf with me, he would've liked it better than just a nice walk.

The guy is 43-years-old and won a Major. After multiple surgeries that affects one's mechanics. I'm not sure how one diminishes that kind of journey, but here we are.

The guy I feel bad for is Molinari. Dropping his shots into the water must've been devastating. I don't know how he maintained his composure because the tourney was his to win. Crazy.

All the money in the world cannot by skill. It might buy a presidency. Myself, I lost a bit of my admiration for Tigger because of the martial infidelity - as, I feel, a person that cheats at this, probably cheats at that. (everything) Why do you dislike Tigger so?
