Golf ? Stumpin' ?

[Pine]

OK , be as honest as you can .
Whitch would be your first choice of what to do when the weather is nice and you have some time to do it .
Let's assume that there is no cost difference either .

As a student of my game once commented, "I don't think you have the disposition for golf." I'd much rather take out my frustration on stumps.

One of your choices was not archery golf, but if it had been, I would have chosen that.  In reading about the early, pre-Hollywood life of Howard Hill, he was the archery golf pro at a country club in Florida.  In those days, archery and golf were thought to be compatible, and even played on the same course at the same time.  I guess this would have been during the '20's or '30's?  They arranged various handicaps so that archery and regular golfers could compete more or less equally.  I've never been able to shoot archery golf on a manicured golf course, but do play it with other archers in a cow pasture once a year when it is set up as a non-competitive part of a tournament.  It is a lot of fun!

Golf? No thank you!

Archery golf on the other hand sounds like a good time.

I'll go with Golf.  A plush golf course is second to none.

A golf course is a great place to go stump shooting.

Golf never did anything for me - haven't done it in years.

I will admit to golf. I shoot my bow year round but my season for golf is pretty short. Plus pretty young girls bring me beer when I golf..

I voted for golf too. Nothing like a fresh cut grass smell of a golf course on a beautiful spring day. Besides I love the game. Ask the same question on a bass fishing forum, model airplane forum, ATV forum, motorcycle forum, etc. and the results would be the same....80% for the hobby in question and 20% for golf.

My family owns a golf course, and I spend all summer working there. Although I really love to golf, after a while I get sort of sick of it.

I'll take stumping. Sometimes when the course is closed, I'll shoot an arrow down the fairway just to watch it go.

I used to play a lot of golf, but I finally realized that I do not have the necessary hand/eye coordination to do it well. I'm not sure I have the necessary skill for archery either.

[Red Beastmaster]

It's pretty obvious that the results will lean toward stumping on this site. I picked golf.

Golf ???.......maybe when I get old.

[Pine]

I'm actually surprised by the outcome of this .
I was expecting golf to be much higher .
I was guessing it would be about 50 / 50 with stumpin' being only slightly ahead .
Thanks for playing along with this .

[md126]

Kind of a silly pointless question, especially on this site. I'm sure more people will say stumping just to show everyone how "super trad" they are..

Anyway, I'll play along. I picked golf but any activity that gets you outside is good by me

[David Mitchell]

How about archery golf? Quite fun.

I have some bad news for you. By then it's too late. Stick to stumping.

When our local country golf course was a golf course, we could  trap gofers and shoot ground squirrels with our bows that were taking over the edges.    They shut that one down and it turned into a big over grown empty field with scattered trees and shooting rubber blunts was no longer allowed because it was too dangerous.   That is what happens when a town turns control over to the county and county declares a large patch of weeds where no one goes a park.   It gets covered by spring floods and without the herbicides, the weeds quickly took it over.  it would have made a great place to reestablish prairie grasses and make it a public hunting area.   Many of the people cannot get the golf course picture out of their heads, the reality,  it is a flat weedy flood plain area now.

I have nothing but contempt for golf & all its trappings.  I guess I'm just not civilized or evolved enough for golf.
