sports what one finds boreing another finds exciting

NASCAR season has begun for another exciting season. I find the sport very interesting. The speed, the possibility of some one crashing, the stradegy involved. Yes there is more to NASCAR that forty three guys going real fast and turning left. The concentration to drive that fast for an average of three and a half hours is more than most of us would be able to do. Heck I know many people who cannot concentrate on one task without being destracked every two minutes. I'm married to one of them. The funny thing is the co worker who says these things about NASCAR. Likes to play a sport that I find the same problems with. He loves to play golf. Now that is a sport that makes no sense. You hit a ball with a club and then go get the ball. Now if I want a ball retrieved I'm certainly not going to get it my self. That is why I have a dog. I realize there are plenty of people who love to play golf. I'm sure it is not because of the strategy involved. Much the same way some would say there is no strategy in NASCAR. I would say the same thing about golf. To me it is just luck. Hitting a ball in to a hole cannot possibly involve that much strategy. But maybe I'm wrong. As I said, the main idea behind golf dosen't make sense. Hit a ball and then go after it. That's why dogs were invented. Trust me, my dog is very good at getting balls that are hit or thrown. I'm sure there are people who disagree and that is fine. Just remember, just because you think a sport is not entertaining does not mean everyone thinks the same way.
