I think you should take up golf. It takes up a lot of time and keeps folks outa bars. Not all of them but the ones who play pretty well and often are moderate drinkers.

"average golfer" golfs ~160 rounds of golf evey year??? NOPE.

"average golfer" drinks ~2 gallons per month??? NOPE.

Very low percentage walk golf course. Some can’t even walk from the path, some have to drive right up and some times onto the greens. IMO I willing to bet % of golfers in villages rides cart 99.999% of the time. Yes, it would be good exercise if walked residential courses. As far as alcoholics, if you’re drunk you are continually going to drink? Golf probably makes good excuse to.

So does it also say mini golfers tend to drink the mini airplane bottles?

Funny post, Chatbrat.

I walk executive courses all of the time.
My pedometer usually shows only 1.0 to 1.4 miles for nine holes. Not a whole lot.
Roughly 4 beers per mile. Does that make it 2.6 miles per gallon?
Not terribly efficient.

I only average 3 beers per 9 hole when I walk the exec's. I'm an older model and less fuel efficient!

Serious golfers wait til the 19th hole before imbibing. And then it's usually just a beer.

I can see golfers here in TV consuming that much (and plenty more) alcohol but walking 900 miles? As close as some of the entitled park their carts to the greens (well within the 15' required distance), I doubt they walk 9 miles a year.

I have determined that I cannot carry enough insurance for me to golf, but I love reading about those that do, especially the new MPG stats!!

I like bowling, if I miss they are kind enough to return my ball for another try :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
