What's a good sports thread? Definition, please; I'm in the dark, a place where good and sports collide. Sorry, sports guys!

a good sports thread and golf.. oh dear, i'll be forced to look up the rules for indoor golf. (and no, i don't think it would be a good game to play any time in the near future..)

I had to clarifie (a little (very little) cross-treading) the meaning of my words by adding the italics to stress the hidden agenda... I knew 'Nothing' would not be enough!

Why did the Sheik refuse a round of golf? (another kind of hidden agenda)

I'm *sure it has something to do with 'the holy land'...

I used to know one about a farmer who had 18 daughters...

And what is the meaning here of nothing?

And, Helen, I mean, of course, "oftroy,": What is the meaning of "indoor golf"? Sounds dangerous to me! All those balls rebounding offa walls and hitting people in their noggins.

And I don't get human beings attempting frisbee in the first place when dogs get by far better press for their skills.

And, since I'm so extraordinarily confused by this entire topic, I have a very important question to ask:

Why do golfballs have those inverted pimples in 'em?

Ball regards,
WordWearied I really do try to understand sports, but fail miserably

Do you mean in the *original context or as it relates to "Golf Farming"?

Either way, "nothing" *seems to be just short of anything.

well, i went googling for indoor golf, and it seem there is now a legitimate game of indoor golf..

the one i know involves, 2 balls and a single club, and the object of the game is getting the club in the hole not the balls... it is generally a two player game.. mixed sets is the most common... but three somes and party aren't unknown.. i think i have the rule (hard copy) if i can find them, and scan them, i'll post them.. when i was first handed the rules, i saw the word golf thought it was about sports, and had to be convinced it was worth while reading the rules.. (sometimes i am very dense!)

of troy curiously writes of indoor golf:

and the object of the game is getting the club in the hole not the balls...

A more casual reader might read the above and not blink an eye. I, however, am sometimes a close reader and I've read closely what of troy has written: the object is to get the club in the hole. not the balls.

Well, this sounds like the strangest sport in the world. There you have it: a bunch of holes and some person poking his or her club into the hole. Is this a game practiced by traffic cops to test sobriety? They haul you into headquarters, which is an indoor golf set-up. And they say to you, "See whether you can take this golfclub and poke it into one of the golf holes." You look at the cop and decide whether or not to argue. You decide to ask for clarification, "You have asked me to put this club into one of the holes, right?" The cop answers, "Right." You, even if of somewhat staggering standard, reply, "And you don't want me to hit a ball into any of the holes, right?" And the cop answers, "Right." So, you poke your old club into the hole. The cop quickly responds,"Gotcha! You're definitely drunk! Who would ever think of putting the club into the hole unless he (she) were a drunk!"

I deduce that indoor golf is a ploy created by the local police department for identifying drunks.

Ball regards,
WW

The Sheik preferred indoor golf ala of troy to outside boring pastime. He'd already shot eight holes
