Yup. So he’s Saturday club ride good, not ‘the next great cyclist’ good.
Next podcast topic, golf as crosstraining to boost ftp?
If not Rory, how about Jimmie Johnson. There something about a bunch of good old boys rolling out of their infield RV’s in cycling kit to go for a ride around the track that just can’t wrap my head around.
yes, this is awesome. Also Reggie Miller is a huge cyclist now. He is a great follow on IG if you like bikes and basketball.
I invite you to take a trip to Jupiter, FL and ride with Camilo Villegas…report back on how bad he rides you into the ground.
Trust me, he will. Dude is a beast.
Lol ok go beat tiger then since it’s easy
Failed sarcasm or trolling?

Camilo Villegas
Good call there. If Spider-Man wasn’t such a good golfer he may well have been a pro cyclist. Friend has done a bunch of those Florida chain gang rides with him.
Barry Bonds too!
Bo Jackson as well.

If you can be drink and smoke WHILE playing, it’s not a sport. It’s a bar game. Golf is billiards with trees.

As a former golf nut, I took my Watch to record a round after I took up triathlon. While four hours carrying & walking a hilly course in the elements is exhausting my heart rate never gets up and I can’t see any physiological adaptations happening. Maybe some strength work from carrying but it’s going to be far from optimal at best, imo.
Good rest day activity though.
Pretty sure you can drink and smoke on a bike.

Barry Bonds too!
If I ever saw Bonds on the road, he’d get guttered with a cheery “Hank says ‘Hi!’, MF’er!!!”
Hey, there are LOT’S of things that aren’t easy that I wouldn’t call a sport or athletic endeavor.
I’m incapable of ironing a shirt with any level of competence in under 20 minutes. I find it impossible. That doesnt really mean ironing is a sport. I’ve tried making sushi. If I entered a competition with any competent sushi chef, I would be just as comically inept relative to that chef as I would be trying to match Tiger on a golf course. Neither though is a real argument for the athletic legitimacy of the endeavor…
@boombang - Probably a bit of both. I’m not really trying to troll out of any sense of antagonism…but I do find a the anger from people that get genuinely upset about defending the honor of golf (and other sports…) amusing.
Sorry if I’ve offended…
