Sport is defined as an activity requiring both physical effort and skill in which a person or team competes against another person or group of people. Golf scarcely fits the description of a sport by this definition.
The sport of golf was developed from the Scottish game of hitting pebbles with sticks. Although it has been likened to sports like football and basketball, the worst golfers have to deal with playing in the rain. Golfers have helpers known as caddies who carry around their bags and clubs, and even offer guidance and moral support! Golfers are not given a set period of time to complete a shot.
However, to make it seem more like a sport, Rule 6-7 states Golfers are not allowed to cause “undue delay”. Compare this to playing football or tennis, when you are up against hard tackles that could break your legs, devastating groundstrokes, and bullet serves.Golf is nothing more than marbles on a grand scale.
I’d rather watch paint dry than tune into golf
