    I've nothing against golf. It is quite a tough mental challenge, above the physical skills you have mentioned. Very sport presents different challenges; just because someone doesn't play it or like it doesn't mean it's any less a sport.

    My personal opinion is the IOC voted for golf because of the $$$ factor. The IOC is a huge money making machine and this should continue to keep the coffers topped up.

    Also, as a squash player, I am disappointed it didn't make the cut.

    Poker?, hehe... I love it

    Equestrian events should be erased from time itself, never mind just the Olympics. It's worse than watching paint dry (at least something's actually HAPPENING there); it's more like watching paint AFTER it's dried. AND the horse doesn't get the medal:mad:.

    Loosely, anything where people take it in turns (shooting, weightlifting etc) usually bores me, the excitment for me in sport is having the other bloke there competing with you.
