Have you ever thought about golf? I mean, really thought about it? All sports are dumb when you break them down, but golf is on another level. I can’t fathom how people pretend to enjoy watching this sport, let alone playing it.
We’re hitting a tiny ball hundreds of yards away into a little cup, fine, whatever. But what’s up with all the stupid names for things? There’s the rough, sandtraps, bunkers, and whatever else that sound way too exciting for what the game actually is.
And then we get to the scoring terms. The fewer hits you need to get the ball in the hole, the better. Great, so you would just say -1, -2, -3, or whatever for each stroke below par, right? Nah, it can’t be that simple.
You might know what to say when you get one or two shots under par, but what about three?

Correct Answer: Albatross
The answer is: Albatross. Nothing about how golf is scored makes any sense. You’re telling me the person with the lowest score wins? Sounds like something a loser made up to try and trick his opponent into letting him win a bet. A hole-in-one makes sense, but a birdie for one below, Eagle for two, and Albatross for three? What do birds have to do with golf in the first place? And don’t get me started on bogeys.Source
