painturguy I just can't hit the ball, it's too difficult for me. But I love watching the players on the PGA. Tiger Woods is amazing. I think golf requires a huge amount of skill and concentration and how the body must be in perfect coordination.

Art: Black and white or color?

Eborsisk @Eborsisk (195) • United States 31 Dec 06
