It’s a game of athletic skill, ergo a sport

There's zero athleticism in golf!

As someone said decades ago, "Golf is a good walk spoiled"!

Problem said by someone who has never played. 😀

Doesn't matter who said it, because it's true!

Usually (mis)-attributed to Mark Twain.

apparently you've never played and seldom watched golf on tv - that's ok, nothing wrong with that. but if i'm right about you, then you're wrong about golf not being a sport.

and, accd'g to perplexity.ai, the origin of the the phrase "Golf is a good walk spoiled" is murky. however, john feinstein, a sports writer, wrote the book 'A Good Walk Spoiled', about golf. i'm confident feinstein believes golf is s asport.
