Aw crap, from Fox Business

[NightWatcher]

Oh noes, not enough people are playing golf.


They've a panel of experts (I'm sure) discussing the matter.


Sorry, but I thought we could use a laugh.

[MineralMan]

1. Because so many sour-looking Boomers are playing golf.

Who needs that? And I'm a Boomer, but I have only played golf once in my life. I failed to see the attraction and did not return.

[11 Bravo]

4. I'm a Boomer and I love golf. I have found it damned near impossible ...

to look sour on a golf course.

[MineralMan]

6. I found it incredibly boring.

I can't imagine myself wasting that amount of time and money, somehow.

[Skittles]

12. I went with an ex for a day of golfing

I swear I could feel my hair growing - SO boring

and what about the people who WATCH golf? omg

[11 Bravo]

20. You need to stripe a 4 wood from 200 yards, just ONCE ...

and watch it fade toward the pin before dropping softly to the green and getting SNUG. Happiness is a long walk knowing your next stroke will be a putt.
Just one man's opinion.

[Arugula Latte]

2. I think Fox is teed-off about this pressing issue.

[LordGlenconner]

3. I'm sick to death of hearing about millenials

Just another generation that will never live up to their potential despite being hyped as "the generation that will change the world."

[Arugula Latte]

5. The millenials I know are fantastic people.

Liberal, smart, funny, etc.

I wish I were a part of that generation. It's so much better than my own (old Gen-X, the former "Reagan Youth&quot .

[LordGlenconner]

8. I know plenty and enjoy their perspective

But I don't really believe in lumping people into categories based mostly on the years they were born anyway. People are people and results may vary.

I'm a Gen-Xer myself. I won't comment on that generation except to say we definitely had better music in our day.

[Skittles]

13. every generation thinks they had better music

although I'll have to say, it's already clear that lots of the newer music never had the staying power of music from, er, "my day"

[Arugula Latte]

15. I loved our music, but I'm loving a lot of new music today.

My daughter and I listen to a lot of the same bands. Like I said, I was born too soon.

[MineralMan]

7. Par for the course at Folks News. (Volks News)

[moondust]

9. Well, maybe because

golf is kind of expensive and more and more younguns these days don't have that kind of money since jobs don't pay and college costs a fortune. Another side effect of inequality and destruction of the middle class.



Oh...and gadgets.

[lunasun]

11. +1 !! exactly

[Cal Carpenter]

10. Golf has served its purpose. The "arnold palmer" is the best summer drink ever.

Golf can wither away and die now, and the waste of water, pesticides, space and energy can stop.

Imho.

[Arugula Latte]

16. But what about the old white guy ugly clothing industry?

It will wither without golf.

[gwheezie]

14. Wait a minute

I thought they were mad that Obama plays golf? Now I'm confused, am I supposed to be upset about playing golf or not playing golf?

[BKH70041]

17. I hope to make up my portion of the deficit next Wednesday.

At least for the Gen Xers. The youngsters need to obtain a later tee time.

[Ken Burch]

18. After the break: "Are There No Workhouses?"

[badtoworse]

19. Golf courses and cemeteries! Biggest wasters of prime real estate!

[Initech]

21. In the words of the late great George Carlin:

"Golf is a boring game for boring people. Imagine the arrogance of the game - hitting the ball with a crooked stick and then walking after it. And then hitting it again! You're lucky you found the thing, asshole! Pick it up and go home!"

[Aerows]

22. Well, I play golf

I'm a Gen-X. I'm not playing right now because A) It's hot as hell here on the Gulf Coast B) I have a garden to tend to C) See reason A
