I can see that taking part in a game that requires a long walk would make someone fitter and healthier for longer. I'm fairly fit and healthy for my age.

It cannot be anymore pointless than 22 grown men being paid to kick a ball about on a marked out area of grass.

People could say the same about people who go hill waking In Scotland. When you get to the top of a hill there is usually a higher one ahead unless you are standing on the top of Ben Nevis.

Golf's a game not a sport. Describing golf as a sport is a bit like calling snooker or darts sports.
To clarify- generally sports are played by athletes whilst darts, snooker and golf are played by people who drink too much or who are old, retired Tories. Some old, retired Tories also drink too much. I mean, just read some of the comments from the islands on this forum - gotta be pished.

Golfers are pretty fit, no many walrus or John Daley types about now.
Curious would you class Dundee mad baiting as sport/pastime/too much time.
Darts and snooker don't really require physical attributes....like curling and bowls.
Golf does.....you swing faster you hit it further makes the game easier and scoring easier.
Takes intelligence to read pace and line of putt.
Takes mental strength to fight inner demons.
Poker face to show no emotion most of the time but a wee fist pump at the right time can annoy the **** oot of an opponent.
And then the all important " I was lucky there, you played well even though I won 5&4" so that you have got completely under the other guys skin and will again **** up in a ball of rage next time.
Golf not a sport ......golf is life.😎

I agree with most of what you say apart from ‘You swing faster, you hit it (the golf ball) further makes the game easier and scoring easier.
I disagree with this. Hitting a golf ball is a matter of timing. Trying to hit the cover off the golf ball will not make it travel further. It is more likely to go off course and end up in the rough or the trees if the golf course has tree lined fairways.
I was always told ‘the less you try to hit a golf ball the further it will go’.
The same can also be said for kicking a football.
