Golf is the best sport in the world, amirite?

It has to be one of the most boring, slow-paced, low effort "sports" in existence. Does it take talent? Absolutely! Am I impressed? Absolutely not.

The only thing more boring than playing golf is watching it on TV.

If you need to be a certain "demographic" and have financial status to be good: It's a garbage sport for elites. Play polo like a real rich person.

Terrible for the environment too.

Golf is for elites? I play once a week for $19.

Lol golf is as accessible as any hobby so definitely not elite.

I wonder why they don't play in inner cities more often? 🧐

by Kertzmannkaela 2 days ago

Fair point. Probably better to say it's accessible for people who have some access to it lol

by Otherwise_Act_8276 2 days ago

It just needs to be 9 holes. 18 is too long.

12 holes I always felt would be amazing.

"Enjoy nature" golf courses are the product of the destruction of nature

> It has everything you can ask for in any sport. Except entertainment value.

If your idea of "enjoying nature" is walking around a lot where countless trees were cut down so people can enjoy whacking a ball with a stick, then sure.

My problem with golf is over the course of time you're playing golf, you barely play any golf.

by SpaceAble 2 days ago

And the better you are, the less golf you play in a round 😂

Golf is just as much of a sport as fishing, which doesn't say much because there isn't much.

Polo shirts that look like the kind you'd get from your employer =\= "the best apparel"

Counterpoint: golf is a game. Sports require athleticism. Games require skill

by New-Atmosphere 2 days ago

I'll agree with three out of five of these points. Can be fun solo or in a group. Enjoying nature. Endless grind. But disagree with best sport in the world and best apparel lmao some of the worst old man looking attire of any athletic clothing and it's boring as all hell to watch.

I get that it's an "opinion" but you're clearly stating it as an objective fact without considering any counterarguments or acknowledging them.

I think golf is stupid but these are fair points

by Anonymous 2 days ago

Weird I can think of 5 other sports just like that. Hiking, mountain biking, climbing, frisbee golf, dirt biking, shooting, skiing, running

While i enjoy golf some of the reasons you put are dumb. Good note that you can play solo. But best apparel is whack, what i'd say instead is depending on the course can wear whatever you want in reason. Nature? being outside on a manicured overwatered grass course is not nature. Grind is endless. What you didn't mention is costs, every course is different but min $20 a person can get pricey. Clubs are ridiculous expensive and do affect performance once you reach a. certain skill level. I love golf but it just can't be the best in the world when there's no easy way to get into it for an average person.

It's not a good as E-sports, but it's ok.

The best "game" in the world? Maybe, for me it doesn't even qualify as a sport

by niafeeney 2 days ago

It's barely a sport to begin with

some people like to play sports because it keeps them physically active…

You try walking 18 holes while carrying your own bag. You'll burn 1000 calories

I walked six and a half miles on the course last week

The average weekend golfer gets a cart, drives directly to their ball, not staying on the cart paths, and drinks 6 beers while playing.

Walking is not exercise

by Anonymous 2 days ago

if you sit on your ass all day everyday it most certianly is. Moving at all is good for your physical health

by Outrageous-Till 2 days ago

It's the bare minimum of movement. You can walk all day everyday at your job and still be overweight. Running for 5-10 minutes a day is 1000x better for you
