destruction-tv-160.jpgBlog Guy, help settle an argument. What is the fastest-growing sport in the world?

That’s easy. Appliance Golf. You know, it’s a lot like regular golf, but players use sledgehammers instead of golf clubs, and they use washers, refrigerators and televisions instead of balls.

The game takes up much less space than normal golf, because of course you’re not going to move an 800-pound refrigerator very far, even with the biggest sledgehammer you can lift.

Wow, I had no idea! I think I’ll look for an Appliance Golf Course in my area! It sounds like a lot of fun. 

Yes, it is. Unless you’re the caddy.
