    I don't know what the photographer was going for.

    Is it just me, or is golf the most unsexy activity ever? Even bowling trumps golf. I think of golf and I think of pudgy old WASP republicans in hideous pants.

    Well that makes me think of a picture I saw of iamtedking when he was golfing with friends during a break from racing. One word: plaid. (He did have a shirt on.)

    Paul Raats has some great opportunities and gets some great shots, but he always seems to ruin them when he starts editing. This one just seems like an awkward/unnatural pose to me. Taylor looks like he's preparing to club a poor little koala or something.

    Remember how he said that if you're not embarrassed to wear your outfit off the gold course, then you're not doing it right?

    Ted King is awesome.

    I think Tim Johnson was wearing his yellow Mavik cycling shoes on that particular golf outing.

    Zoom, that's a terrible stereotype! The club DH and I used to belong to (before we took up cycling) was the biggest bunch of beer-drinking, blue-collar Democrats you've ever seen. It was a great fun and I miss it sometimes.

    I agree with Buffy, I'm a Fabian girl. Besides, noodle arms and a bike tan don't do much for me unless it's on my husband..........or Fabian

    Everyone I know that plays golf are well, like the stereotype described, except they come in all political persuasions. I know it's a popular sport with women now, but, ick. And it's not because I have no eye-hand coordination. DH stopped playing many years ago because it took too much time and was not really exercise.

    I can go for the bike shorts, but the golf and the guy aren't really my type.
