@caissad4 saidI think you are on to something.
The only exciting part of golf is when the ball goes into the spectators and they all scramble. Hey wait, it would be a good variation if all the spectators had to stand on the course and dodge golf balls.
I played something similar on the few occasions I swung a club.
Although the "spectators" were not overly impressed!

@wolfgang59 saidWhy is there two forms of rugby anyway? Especially in Aus with Aussie rules as well, how may games do you need a same shaped ball?
I think League used to be boring when played by fat blokes in muddy swamps.
The league played in Aus & NZ is a fast and furious game.
(Still no match for Union though!)

happened in any other sport (just religions!). Originally it was
just professionals (league) and amateurs (union) but the rules diverged.
I think there were mutterings of unifying the codes a while
back but cannot see it happening now. In NZ the two camps
are quite antagonistic of each other!
@mister-moggy removed their quoted postEnough of that "what those Candians do with a broom" stuff mister moggy! The last I heard the Brits had some dam good curling teams, and curling is *awesome* Woo hoo! 🙂
@very-rusty saidMy take is that golf is the most dramatic.

1 man against the field. No blood or stress.
Pure talent, no one to rely on but yourself.
Self reliant, not unlike Republicans
Independent thinking and strategy...no huddles or hand signals

Hitting a ball with a stick for hours and days sometimes going around in a circle.
Having said that I watched the final round of the Open last week and that was proper man against the elements stuff and a local bloke came out on top so it has its moments.

Let's not politicize the gentleman's sport.
The rest of your post is highly agreeable. Those who have never golfed, won't understand.
