NFL Network host Sara Walsh delivers epic rant against men golfing with friends

I feel targeted. The NFL Network’s Sara Walsh just went on a nearly lyrical tirade against men’s obsession with golf. The words won’t be leaving our heads anytime soon.

“There’s just been a lot of talk in the studio this week, it’s the grumbling about seeking permission from the significant other and being given a hard time because you just want to play a simple round of golf with your buddies. But I just want to put this in perspective, the other side of that equation, the one in which you come to us with utterly unrealistic promises that can never be fulfilled starting with this real unplayable lie,” Walsh began.

“You are not going golfing and it’s just going to take three and a half hours. You know how I know that because not once in your history of golfing has a round ever taken three and a half hours, not once. And it’s not because the group in front of you play slow and it’s not because they had a dude in jean shorts with a 20 handicap.

“First of all, it is because your round of golf starts an hour earlier than your tee times so that you can get on the range, so that you can find your swing because somewhere in the recesses of your brain, you think that you have a shot to get on tour.”

Walsh’s co-hosts sat around her stunned. Some laughed while others simply looked forward with glazed eyes, hoping Walsh was nearly finished. However, the 45-year-old sportscaster was just getting started.

“When you come home seven hours later and I say, ‘Hey, how did it go?’ I never hear, ‘Man, I’m getting better.’ I only hear you’re working on some things and you’re close. And the only thing that’s close to happening is me hiding those clubs where they’re never going to be found again.”

Ouch. If you think that one hit too close to home, just wait.

“How much golf gear do you guys need? Because I’m not talking about the shirts and the pants, or the golf shoes. I’m talking about the random Amazon packages that show up that I know I didn’t order. They’re the ones that measure your launch stats because just because you’re buying gadgets to train speed doesn’t mean you’re about to be Rory McElroy.”

While Walsh’s attacks up to this point were personal, they weren’t based in fact. Any golf addict knows these are the comments that can be brushed off with enough self-rationalization. Then, Walsh brought it home with a few stifling statistics.

“You know what takes less time than a round of golf? Practically any other sport. You can watch a basketball game, a soccer game, a hockey game, most Sundays, a football game. You can run a marathon in less time than it takes for you and your boys to play around.

“It takes the International Space Station let me just let me bring this all back. It takes the International Space Station 90 minutes to orbit around the Earth it takes you 90 minutes to shoot six over through the first six holes.”

Message received. Well played, Walsh. Now, we await our fellow wannabe PGA professionals’ response.
