VOOGOLF Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 As a golf fans, I have thousands of reasons loving it. But it seemingly most people wouldn't take any of them according to a recent YouGov poll. The poll indicates that 70% of respondents regard golf as boring and 52% think it exceedingly boring. Fortunately, American football followed golf as the second and Cricket and Darts tied third. Atheletics turned out to be the most stimulating one. So, What do you think?

STUDque Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I won't debate the fact that many non-golfers find golf boring. Even still, I'm wondering where they even found this sample. You can't even find most of those sports on TV and American Football is booming in popularity across the world. The fact that "athletics" is even on this list is quite telling. Cool pic though.

gaussman1 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 VooGolf is a Chinese company that, as far as I can tell, sells an app that allows courses to track their play in real time. For the low low discount price of $2000/year! Of course if you want the upgraded model it's only $4000/year so don't be a cheapskate. I have no idea what their intent could be with this awkward poll. Personally I have always found Rugby Union much more boring than Rugby League. Don't even get me started on snooker!

tony@CIC Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Darts scores better than golf? This must have been a poll of non golfers and their watching preferences. I do think most non golfers would find it boring to watch on tv since they don't know or understand the nuances of the game. Before I started playing I couldn't understand why people would watch it.

Berg Ryman Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 So, quick hit finds YouGov being a UK based website company, so really no surprise in the answers given here and the sports mentioned. I'm sure that for most of us we wouldn't place golf as boring, but to a wide swath of UK viewers they might. Personally, I find every sport on there exciting save for cycling, and maybe snooker, but I love weird sports. I didn't watch the NFL this weekend to watch Skiing Aerials and World Cup luge and skeleton, so to each their own I guess.

STUDque Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Even though it was obviously spam/ advertising, I don't think it changes the fact that it was fun to debate and discuss. Just like when a spammy rant about an aspiring pro that wanted to bend irons 10* strong turned into a 4 page thread. It's fun to talk about silly things.

TheWahoo Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I can understand why those that don't play the game finding watching the professional golfers somewhat boring. However, if they were to televise my buds and I playing, it probably would do well on the Comedy Channel and would be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
