This is a good way to look at it. In the end though, the best part is that everyone can play golf and enjoy it to the best of their abilities.
Yep that' s the beauty of golf

I don't think people understand the definition of the word sport, look it up, its origins, etc. We define it now based off of football, basketball, baseball and hockey, which require a decent amount of physical exertion, skill, etc.
If only we could figure out why it matters if you call it a sport or not. It is one of the hardest skills to master and even stars in other sports struggle to be mediocre at golf so let folks call it what they want, most of them will try to play it at some point and most of them will suck at it and realize what fulfilling and challenging sport(or skill, or game) it really is. We already know.
Wasn't that after like 10 beers though? Ha! JK!!!!I rolled my ankle playing last weekend in Des Moines. If I can get hurt while participating in an activity, it's a sport.

yeah i've done that.. but i didn't enjoy it, so the most i'll ever run is one or two holes and only if i'm waaay behind. which i hardly ever am.what about competitive speed walking lol?
One time I played with this really good golf player and we were running the course the whole time lol
it's extremely mental, but if you don't have a good swing (the physical part), you can do decent at best. and only if you're lucky. the way i see it, if it's on ESPN, it's a sport. yes, i do realize poker is on ESPN, but i also believe that it belongs nowhere near ESPN.
Definitely physical IMO. 23 years old, in good shape(usually run 3-5 miles every couple of days), and consider myself to be pretty athletic. Started playing 10 days ago and have been at the range every day except for 2. After 10 days my back hurts, back of left hand hurts, all fingers on both hands are sore, neck is sore as well. Now I may have over done it and am taking a break from the range for a couple of days, but I don't ever remember hurting in this many places when I played competitive baseball and basketball growing up.
If your back hurts you are swinging incorrectly. I think they have the "lessons with a PGA Pro" thing going for $99 right now. It's like 5-6 lessons for beginners. Find a local pro and see if they are doing this. Your back will thank you in about 20 years.......

It's called Get Golf Ready and it's like 5-1 hour and 30 min lessons with a PGA instructor and small groups, it really helped my game when I took it earlier this year. . .
Anyways, my back doesn't hurt when I play, usually only my legs are sore and my shoulder muscles are sore but besides that I'm fine. Now when I first started playing golf, my lower arm muscles killed me but since then I've built them up, golf is physical in that you require flexibility and fittness to get good, yet anyone even justin Bieber can play this game
don't even say that..
or he doesn't warm up correctly. i played yesterday, didn't warm up at all. first swing and i tweaked my back. could hardly swing the rest of the round. yes, i did swing another 84 times and finished out my 18 holes, but still. it's not always the swing, just need to be loose.
