The Donald hits one into the rough

I'm not a golfer, so I'm really not offended by this. However, for all you DU'ers out there, the Donald has an opinion:

"It may be elitist, and perhaps that's what golf needs. Let golf be elitist. When I say 'aspire,' that's a positive word. Let people work hard and aspire to some day be able to play golf. To afford to play it. They're trying to teach golf to people who will never be able to really play it. They're trying too hard. Because of the expense of playing, and the land needed, golf is never going to be basketball, where all you need is a court."

So, all you slobs get off the greens you are trashing up with your presence ( I can just picture many DU'ers going to UTube to find a clip of Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack as this is being read)

One is an activity, and one is a sport. Now I'm not saying that skill is not involved, but if you're able to put on more calories than you burn off playing it - or get drunk (I'm also looking at you, bowling) - it's not a sport.

Fishing - now that's a sport. I remember that saying that God does not subtract from a man's life the time he spends fishing. Shit, sometime I even put bait on the hook.

hadn't thought of it before...

Great Rethug sport: Take advantage of the less-fortunate, hook them with a lousy piece of bait that is worthless to anyone else, reel them in, and then lie about everything that happened.
