I'm sure you've heard it - people say it all the time - Golf is just a bunch of old men out hitting a ball around. There are many, who have never tried golf, who think golf is 'not a sport' and don't see the big deal. They are caught up in the old out-dated stereotype. Well actually, there's a golfing term for those people. 'Putz.'

The next time one of your non-golfing friends starts in, remind him or her the PGA Tour is getting younger all the time or at least it appears that way. Eight winners so far in the past year were in their 20's, including 27-year-old Adam Scott and 22-year-old Anthony Kim. No old men here.

What's more I'd lay odds 90% of players on the PGA tour are in better shape and more athletic than the person making the claim that golf is not really a sport. It's really not that easy to hit a ball 280 yard and put it where you want it.

Then the next time your friends makes one of those blanket statements, challenge them. Invite them to play a round. Just one, and bet them a c-note you can beat their pants off. It will probably shut them up or at the very least score you a little chump change.

And remember, there are really only three type people in this world. Those who love golf, those who are just plain lazy and morons.
