Golf the Noun vs Golf the Verb

I had no idea this was a thing, but what a load of old bollocks. I’d rather use the word golfing over things like winningest or burglarized!!!!
 
well i just received a text for DTG (Down to Golf)!!! Where does that put me one the serious enthusiast scale?
 
Whats a noun or a verb? I haven't heard those terms since high school :ROFLMAO:

I'm going golfing.
 
truth be told... usually i text or talk about hitting the links when I am going golfing.

Haha I could be playing a muni, a country club, a links, a par 3, a woodlands course, beach course (never have) ... Always hittin the links.
 
 
I go golfing and hope I bring my golf swing with me! 😎
 
I always say I’m here to hit some golf. Am I doing it wrong?
 
Will referring to this the correct way save me any strokes?
 
it's a noun. not a verb. this is how the typical sentence would go for the guy who violates this axiom: "I just finished putting all the covers on my irons because I'm golfing tomorrow."
 
All I know is that golf is flog spelled backwards.

I golf my ball all the time.
 
I am not a serious golfer I guess.

Or maybe I'm so serious about golf, that I don't give a **** how you say it, just how you play it.
 
Wait, is this all from @Canadan saying he 'golfed his ball'? Or did I miss something on a podcast?
 
Doesn't matter to me if it's golf or going golfing, as long as I'm doing it that's all I really care about!
 
Guess I am in the non-serious category as I always saying "going golfing".

I feel the term I play golf is like those that insist on saying THE Ohio State University. Common it is Ohio State we don't need the THE and University. ;)

Just golf your ball, kids.
 
This post is funny. Tell me verb/noun relationship of the following:
“I’m going drinking with my friends”
“I’m drinking with my friends”

BTW - where’s the English Majors out there?
 
I find it assuming that it's so controversial. People use nouns as verbs often (boating, for example), and it's much better than the reverse (denominalization >>>>>> nominalization). I say it both ways because I don't think about it.
