Re: Biggest Golf Pet Peeve

Just because it's in the dictionary does not mean I agree with its usage. It just sounds amateur.
When I hear someone say "I golf" i think of a hacker who has no idea what they're doing and riding around in a cart because they're too fat and lazy to walk.
When someone says "I play golf" I think of a beautiful, fluid swing, drawing it down the middle of the fairway, slinging your own clubs over your bag and playing the game the way it was meant to be played.
But that's just me and many others, I guess [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I always have and always will use it as a verb, I don't really care if its *proper* usage or not. In fact, if it puts my fellow golfers on life tilt, all the better.
