Do you know anything about Wayne Rooney?
gpt
I read about him but I am not very familiar.  Can you tell me more about him?
human
He is a British soccer star who is investigating playing for MLS in the US
gpt
He is a soccer player, right?
human
Yes.  He plays with Manchester United in the UK.
gpt
I am more familiar with American football players.  Do you watch soccer games?
human
I only watch every 4 years during the World Cup.  I have read about a variation where 3 teams play at the same time.  That must be fun to watch.
gpt
3 teams played at the same time?  I had never heard that before.
human
I think I will look it up on the internet and see how it is played.  How about golf? Do you play or watch?  Golf courses take up more land in the US than Delaware and Rhode Island combined.
gpt
I did not know that golf courses take so much land.  I watched my friends play golf sometimes.  Do you play golf?
human
I have golfed.  Someone said that golf is a nice walk spoiled.  There is a golf course in Dubai that takes 4 million gallons of water per day.  One closed here in Phoenix because the water bill was $500,000 per year.
gpt
I did not know that the military operates 224 golf courses.  Why do they do that?
human
The courses are probably on bases around the world.  It keeps officers from mustering out I would guess.  Babe Ruth was once America's most famous golfer.
gpt
The military spend $140M per year to operate those golf courses.  It's a waste of money.
human
Perhaps, but how costly would it be to lose 5000 officers from the various branches each year?
gpt
I presumed they joined the the military because of patriotism.  It has nothing to do with golf.
human
Yes. But boredom can drive one away from jobs.  Samuel Jackson has a clause in his movie contracts that allows him to golf twice per week during production.  It is important to some people.
gpt
Do you know that the US has more golf courses than the rest of the world combined?
human
I am not surprised.  We have land and we have wealth.  That little hole is only 4.25 inches in diameter but it is the objective for many people.
gpt
I did not know that each hole is only 4.25" in diameter.  I thought it was bigger than that.
human
If you were putting for a lot of money you might think it is smaller  LOL. You do know that the objective is to sink 18 holes in as few strokes as possible, I presume?
gpt
I do.  Anyway, I've got to run.  Nice chatting with you.
