idk if any higher % of ppl to swing a club make it pro than any other sport tbh
and if anyone has ever tried to consistently get any good at landing the ball within a dozen yards of a flag 250 yards away i doubt theyd speculate about how easy it is
nb only americans play baseball, really. and tennis seems to me to be /at least/ as middle class barriers to entry as a route
but golf seems to be one of those yank coded things and my island is essentially one large, reasonably-priced golf resort so hey

honestly the most impressive golf performance i've ever seen was by this left-handed dude i knew in university who was compelled to play with right-handed clubs. i mean, he wasn't *good* but by god he got that ball to that hole again and again

I absolutely think golf takes skill and practice, I just hate it and find it completely repulsive. There’s a reason “Chemical Warfare” is among my favorite Dead Kennedys songs. That said, as a practitioner of a somewhat marginal and weird sport, I totally don’t want to yuck others yum because I know that most people are like “you climb rocks??!”

Tiger has been making the cut for w4 years, a record. I don't know it's impressive in between all the shaghing and car crashing.
But I get you he is not winning another major.

Golf combines a very masculine ish skill of hitting a ball hard with putting which requires something more zen like. Find that combo unique.

Golf does have one thing going for it: it’s a sport where it’s ok to drink and smoke while you play it. How many other sports can say the same? Bowling. That’s really it

wait, maybe i didn't mean lob = putting. i meant those shots where someone runs up to the ball after some huge smash by their opponent and then they just barely touch the ball and it just barely goes over the net and its impossible to return. i love those. finesse! touch! more than muscle! i like those players who are good at coming up to the net. it shows courage. omg, tennis is WAY harder than golf. tennis is insane. at least on a pro level.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 17 April 2024 13:59 (two days ago) link
Finesse touch sure but the tennis players don't spend agonized minutes pacing up and down, trying to work out how best to hit the ball, holding their racket up to work out angles and bevels in the court, asking a ballboy what he thinks, before dinking the ball over the net.

I was on the golf team in high school, and became somewhat proficient despite all my efforts to not take it seriously. Haven't played in years, nay, decades
― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 17 April 2024 16:42 (two days ago) link
There are many p good reasons to find golf hateable. I love to play though and the one and so far only time I shot under par for 18 holes at my local course is without question the greatest achievement of my life and the 10 minute walk home from the 18th green to my house was the happiest I have ever felt about anything I've ever done in my entire life. I'm p sure I will never be that deliriously happy again.
That said I also remember playing with a couple of friends when I was about 12 and when they committed some etiquette faux pas that I managed to avoid a couple of adult members playing behind us shouted at them pointed to me and called out "don't walk over the green, look even the darkie gets it".
