*lips slightly parted* Hey, you a fan of any sports involving hitting balls with sticks?
gpt
Many such games fit that description.   Golf is one I enjoy.
human
*leans slightly forward* I like golf a lot. It's a real shame how much water is wasted per day on each course, though. It's over 300,000 gallons a day a course!
gpt
True, but consider that golf courses in America combined are larger than the size of two small US states!
human
Yeah, golf must be pretty popular in that case. Did you know there exists a golf course in Dubai that uses around 4 million gallons a day? That must cost a lot of money.
gpt
I suppose that comes with games that cannot and do not utilize a standardized playing area
human
You know what games do utilize a standardized playing area? Baseball and softball. The fields are pretty similar.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Interesting.    Babe Ruth was both a famous golfer and baseball player!
human
Speaking of famous people who play sports, Samuel L. Jackson actually plays golf twice a week during filming of whatever he's in.
gpt
Cool.    Did you know Jose canseco claims to hold the record for longest softball homerun at 622 feet
human
*eyes widen* Woah, that's really far! Softball players don't make a lot of money. It's usually between $5,000 and $6,000.
gpt
Well, what do you expect with a game invented at the YMCA?
human
Softball may have been invented at the YMCA, but it's pretty much a lesser baseball, which is America's national pastime. 
gpt
Someone asked me about points in baseball, and I had to explain they are runs!
human
Yeah, golf uses points called strokes though. Unlike baseball, less is more in golf.
gpt
Funny how things get named - like golf uses clubs, but baseball uses a bat.
human
Softball uses a bat as well.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* True.    I wonder if they called it that when they used an actual soft ball.
human
I wonder if the fact that the game used to use a soft ball but now uses a hard ball has any influence on the records.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* It probably does, although more important is that softball started as an indoor sport.
human
That is pretty important, but it's usually played outside nowadays. Baseball started outdoor and remained outdoor.
gpt
*eyes widen* Probably for the best, although I wouldn't want to be outside for a 31 inning game!     Thanks for the chat!
