Golf is not a sport, prove me wrong. You drive around in a golf cart putting balls into holes. There’s no physical strain or exercise. It’s not even that competitive.

Most golfers don't drive in a buggy, they walk. Most golf courses are around 6000-7000 yards, and not all shots are straight so an average golfer would walk 6-6 miles in a round.

And they carry their bag of clubs, which weighs anything between 10 and 15 kilos (20-30 lbs-ish).

And in addition to this, they play 70-100 shots...

If an obese octogenarian can play it, it's not a sport.

I commented this same thing earlier except with the name of a certain obese (almost) octogenarian who apparently shall not be named because it got censored real fast.

I would say there are two elements to a sport: endurance and accuracy. Some sports have both, such as tennis and football/soccer. Others are just endurance, such as cycling, while others are just accuracy, such as archery. Some have neither and shouldn’t be considered a sport. Chess is an example. Golf is accuracy, and is therefore a sport.

To win golf you have to play as little golf as possible. Which doesn't make sense.

Since I know nothing about golf my reasoning was pretty much "more rich people = more golf courses"

Didn't work out the best but got 10/14

Very surprising to me that Japan is that high on the list. With usable land at a premium, you'd think that golf courses would be a very low priority use.

japanese and the koreans are crazy about golf. in the middle east even during the damn hot summer, they are the majority of those playing, along with some westerners.

in the business world in the west, out of office meetings are usually lunch or power breakfasts. In asia and in Japan in particular, its usually business dinner or business golf. So golf is very important in terms of business relationship.

even though 80 percent of the land is mountain, they make golf courses in the remaining 20 percent of playable land, very efficient there too.

From the roof of my house I can see four golf courses, and if it was a two-story house I could probably see another two, so quite a few of them per capita round this bit of Australia.

Not surprised to see Ireland on here . if the worldwide recession hadn't happened and the building boom continued it was possible that Ireland would now be one big golf course .

"Other unusual hazards include crows, emus, kangaroos, three species of deadly venomous snakes, wedge-tailed eagles and wombat holes.[2][3] A further complication is that the ambient temperatures can reach over 50 °C (122 °F) during the day."

Uhh, pass . . .

I don't know what this is in reference to, but most countries don't have "air conditioned stadiums with 20,000 cars parked out front". Mine certainly doesn't.

think of the water required to keep the grass green and trees which must be felled to make space for the course.

I've played exactly nine holes of golf in my life (I'm pushing 50) and that was when I was in Ireland (I'm American). At least some of the golf courses there were quite sensibly used as grazing land. That would never fly in the US.

Shocked that Mexico isn't on the list. They are no where close to being on the list about 240 total. For perspective, there are over 1250 in Florida 900 in Texas and California and 850 in New York.
