Surely golf has got to have a bigger playing area than Polo. They walk for miles in search of their balls. Jul 14 02, 5:50 PM

Jim	Hunting with a musket ball gun is larger than golf... Jul 14 02, 6:32 PM

I think I'm experiencing deja vu. Wasn't this question asked before and received the exact same answers as the first two, but by other people? I hate to break it to you Jim, but very, very few people consider hunting a sport. If I remember correctly, the last time this question went around everyone agreed it was Polo or golf. I don't think a definitive answer was ever given with a source. I shall give it a shot and try to find the correct answer. Jul 14 02, 6:59 PM

McG	Hunting and fishing are sports. People who engage in these activities are sportsmen. The musket ball is that which stretches the parameters of the question a might too far. Jul 14 02, 7:55 PM

The outdoor polo field is 300 yards long and 160 yards wide, the largest field in organized sport. The average 18-hole golf facility takes up 150-200 acres, teeing areas using 2%, putting greens 2%, fairways 23%, rough/woods/water 70%, buildings and grounds 3%. An acre is equal to 43,560 square feet and a polo field is 432,000 square feet, making the average golf course larger. Jul 14 02, 8:05 PM

What's wrong with the musket ball...yes, it is uncommon--but it still counts. Jul 14 02, 8:17 PM

I didn't say the musket ball answer was wrong, although very few people actually hunt with a musket. If they did, maybe hunting would be more sporting, as the other side is unarmed. Questions are always open to interpretation, and I happen to think beachbum was going for a scored game type of sport using a ball, such as football and soccer. Jul 14 02, 8:59 PM

How many ball bearings are there in a bicycle? Surely the Tour de France covers quite a few square miles. Or how many ball bearings in a Rally Car? There are rallies around the world that would cover huge areas. Jul 14 02, 11:53 PM
