Croquet has a lot of similarities to golf, and a popular form of croquet is called Golf Croquet , in which each player takes a stroke in turn, trying to hit a ball through the same hoop. Another sport described as a mix of croquet and golf is the sport of Krolf from Denmark, where players use a mallet to hit the ball into a hole.
There are a few versions played with objects other than the dimpled small white ball. In Footgolf it's a mix of golf and football, where players use football skills to kick a soccer ball into a hole. In Disc Golf , you throw a frisbee around the course, finishing by throwing it into a chain basket as the hole.
These are new sports , usually just ideas, submitted by visitors to this website. Some though may be more developed, and are actually played in emerging competitions around the world. Share: Facebook Twitter. Well not every sport, as there is a list of unusual sports , extinct sports and newly created sports.
How to get on these lists? The reason these sports are popular are because they are tests of brutal strength. Golf, although not requiring brutal strength, is a sport. Golf is a legitimate sport because it is highly competitive, requires mental capacity, and demands physical extortion and muscle use.
A big part of any sport, especially golf, is being competitive. Golf is seen as just a game, but golfers are highly competitive. In any sport you just have to play one day, but in golf a tournament may be up to four days that you have to play. One piece to show how competitive golfers are is they get injured often. Open despite playing with his left knee missing an ACL and two stress fractures in his left tibia.
This shows that golfers will stop at nothing to win. Golfers, like other sport players, have to deal with injuries. Some athletes sit out and rest, but golfers only have certain chances for tournaments. Golf also is an individual sport, no one else can ensure the win. Independent sports also require the ability to count on yourself and no one else. I, too, have dealt with injuries in golf; I hurt my wrist and was in brace for two month and I still played in four competitions.
One of the most essential part of any sport is the mental game. Mental game is almost as important as being physically strong.
In football and soccer, the mental part is knowing the play, but in golf, it is knowing how to do the shot, doing what lays ahead, and blocking out what others have done. This quote is showing if you are the slightest bit off, you will not be able to play your best game. In golf, you have to be so precise because, if you miss the ball slightly, it will throw off your whole shot. My opinion, and likely most of the readers of this site, is that golf is most certainly a sport by the dictionary definition:.
Sport — noun. Competitive golf is a physical activity requiring skill and is scored, which certainly meets the definition. The case against golf being a sport, in my opinion, is based on limited or skewed perceptions of golf and golfers. Golf is commonly referred to as a game. While there can be arguments about the semantics, a game is a physical or mental activity with rules played for entertainment.
That means all sports are types of games. The critical aspect of sports is that they are physical activities. Interestingly, there is no defined level of physical exertion needed to qualify as a sport.
Detractors will point out that the bulk of physical work in golf is simply walking. Walking 18 holes, however, is usually around 5 miles, a definite physical exertion. Even using a golf cart, golfers still tend to walk more than a mile, and all of that is in addition to swinging a club dozens of times putting excluded. Compare that to baseball, which is widely regarded as a sport. While baseball has some running, it is typically in bursts of no more than feet at a time.
Besides that, the majority of the game is spent standing and waiting for something to happen.
