<description><![CDATA[I'm afraid I'm with a certain Mr Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain - golf is a good walk spoiled. If it floats your boat though fair enough - if I'm making the effort to do sport it will involve sweat.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As someone with a golf habit that would make heroin addicts blush (I play until the snow falls, as long as it's over 40 degrees out, and run back out to play as soon as all the snow melts!) ... I'd say a combination of random rewards and the fact that you gradually acquire more skill over the years, so you get increasing rewards. Early on it's your first par, then trying to get a par every round, then your first birdie, then trying to reach a par 5 in 2 shots, going for your lowest score ever, etc. ... there's lots of little &quot;accomplishments&quot; to notch and you never really run out until you're a pro, which most of us won't be.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine always wondered why people run.Always wondered what people are running from.... 

Where they running from their demons, past lives, the cops. He would come up with the most asinine 

freudian bullcrap he could come up with. 

Usually we figured everyone was running from the cops though. Because all of the runners in this 

town run right past the crosswalks, in clear violation of pedestrian bylaws...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The very reason  I've never swung a golf club.
My &quot;sport&quot; of choice is darts. Not that electronic crap, but good old horse hair board and darts that can inflict injury (which can cost the price of a good Ping driver). Most assuredly part of the caveman arsenal. Talk about addicting.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm glad you're enjoying yourself but for me golf is just too little action with too much nothing in between...

I get everything on your list playing tennis plus the mating displays are reciprocated - you may have noticed tennis skirts are more than a bit shorter than your average business suit and unlike most (if not) all other sports men/women can play together (mixed doubles)...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is the most interesting golf story I've ever read or been told, and yet it was still just moderately interesting.

The first rule of golf in the rule book should be &quot;Spend less than 12 seconds describing what you did golfing, explain no more details unless asked follow up questions or you are trying to get somebody to spend less time with you.&quot;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some refer to Sporting Clays (not to be confused with skeet shooting) as, &quot;Golf with Guns.&quot; It has all the same attributes you've quantified for Golf with the very appealing characteristic of shouting -- PULL! --  then harnessing gunpowder to blow a rapidly moving little clay target to bits. You should find a nice course and try it, I think you'll find it's genteel Neanderthal qualities even more addictive than Golf. And there is the added benefit of keeping your neighbor's guessing when they see you loading a shotguns into your trunk early Saturday morning.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Typically when I am on the golf course simulating a great buffalo hunt, my wife enjoys pawing through the discount clothing racks at TJ Maxx, which to me looks a lot like gathering berries.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;I have a hypothesis that the things we do for recreation are usually metaphors that allow us to express our caveman instincts in socially appropriate ways. The nearer an activity is to our basic hunting and gathering nature, the more we like it.&quot;
My recreation includes (but not limited to) reading &amp; commenting on this blog. I don't see a good connection between hunting/gathering and commenting. Maybe there is a connection to tribal politics, but if your argument is &quot;I like x, cavemen did x, I have a similarity to a caveman,&quot; then there isn't much there.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Today I took my wife to buy some ear rings at a jewelry store.  I imagine that our earliest male ancestors strung together pretty, shiny stones and presented them to our earliest female ancestors.  Wait...Scott's hypothesis involves recreation.  Well, most men enjoy &quot;wrestling&quot; with women, and I imagine good 'ol Caveman Ogg discovered many millenia ago that giving jewelry to Oggette made her more inclined to want to wrestle with him.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is part of the reason I have never tried golf. I feel the same way you one did about it, but I've heard so many stories of people becoming addicted to it that I figure I should treat it like crack.]]></description>
