Re: Are these sports?
[ QUOTE ]
I voted yes on billiards and no on bowling because both take physical skill, and there's a dynamic element to billiards that there isn't to bowling so I put bowling out and billiards in. Golf is close in that it's not that dynamic either, but more than bowling is,so it's the last one in for sport.

By dynamic, I assume you mean that the playing field is constantly changing? Then you had to have said yes to curling, correct?
As for bowling not being dynamic, at the pro level (which is I assume what we are talking about), the pros are constantly changing their targets throughout the match because of the way the oil pattern is changing. You likely won't notice it on TV because it happens gradually. But you will notice it if you compare the line a bowler takes in the first frame of the first game to the last frame he bowls on the teleacst, 3-4 games later.
