And not a sport? How? What *exactly* qualifies something as a sport. F1 not a sport, but touring cars are, or Moto GP? Or nothing with engines. How about Snooker, or Darts?

I don't see Golf or Darts as sports. To me, even many athletic events are border-line.
I think that in a sport you should be able to effect and interfere with your opposition (a tackle in football, moving your opponent around the court in Tennis, an overtake in motorsport etc) to prevent them gaining an advantage or scoring points.
In Golf, all you can do is play your own game as well as you can and hope the pressure you apply puts your opponent off their game.
Connect 4 is more of a sport than Golf.

I fully expect to get flamed, but I don't see my mind being changed.
I'm with Lee Evans when it comes to Golf: Golf is long distance snooker for w4nkers.

That's the most bizarre opinion ever.

By that definition Formula One is more of a sport than a cycling time trial.

By that logic chess would be a sport - no!?

It is, it comes under the category of 'mindsport' along with things like Go and Draughts.
