You know, you're right, and there's nothing wrong with being runner-up. The nice thing is that you invented the game and really kicked England's ass (excuse me, arse, but I can say ass since the U.S. is No. 1).

It's more wins per head of population so maybe we're really the world's number one.

Slightly more seriously though, what's the general perception of golf in relation to class in other places? It's a game that's played by all classes in Scotland but I wonder if that's the case elsewhere because it has a rather classist reputation.

Per capita, you probably are No. 1. Congratulations, but remember, you guys had a head start.

Bob when are you going to grow up and stop trying to win some sort of invisible victory, that actually has no real significance, from the sweat of others?

Sheeesh, some peoples kids. :lol:

It's not that you were ahead of any curve, it's just that in trying to deal with the deadly boredom of Scotland, somebody got the bright idea of hitting a rock with a stick.

What's invisible about having more major golf tournament wins than the rest of the world combined??? And, please, stop using red type and emoticons, which unfortunately are not invisible!!!

I agree, no comparison, one, sedate strolling around a park hitting a little ball with funny clubs, the other, guiding a vehicle at 225 mph and up to 5g through bends.
