Why Golf is always better than Any other Sport

This is just an extension of my post just now. This is why golf is always better than other sport.

1. Golfers don't spit and scratch their privates on national television.

2. Golfers don't kick dirt on other people.

3. Golf is an honourable game played by an overwhelming majority of honourable people who don't need referees.

4. Golfers don’t swear at referees if their balls go out-of-bound.

5. Golfers are compensated in direct proportion to how well they play.

6. The PGA Tour raises more money for charity in one year than the any other sport does in two.

7. Pro golfers can answer a question without having to wait till they see the videotape.

8. When pro golfers hit a foul ball, they don't get another chance. They either are penalized or they have to go find it and hit it again.

9. Pro golfers throw things to fans, not at them.

10. People don't ruin their lives betting on the outcome of golf tournaments.

11. Baseball, basketball and football players play golf when they retire. Pro golfers don't play baseball, basketball and football when they retire.

12. You can play golf by yourself.

13. No golfer has ever told a reporter or a group of reporters that he or she is the greatest ever to play the game.

14. Golf doesn't have training camp and overpriced exhibition games.

15. It is virtually impossible to "fix'' a pro golf tournament.

19. Michael Jordan wishes he were a pro golfer.

21. Golfers call their own plays.

22. You can see the best golfers in the world up close at the U.S. Open all day, every day, for $25 or $30. It'll cost you $275 for a ticket in the nosebleed section of the Super Bowl.

23. Pro golfers don't charge $20 or more for an autograph.

24. In pro golf, you can't fail 70 percent of the time and make $9 million per season.

25. Golf lessons don't include tips on how to break the rules and get away with it.

26. Golfers don't hold out for more money, or demand new contracts.

27. Golfers don't get a per diem and two seats on a chartered airplane when they travel from one tournament to the next.

28. Golfers don't do everything possible to disrupt the play of their opponents.

35. Pro golfers don't have closed practices.

36. Pro golfers keep their clothes on while they're being interviewed (applicable to Football).
