Golf is a great sport because, you can play the game starting at 5 till at least 75 years old, if not more. It is an individual sport, so you are not dependent on your team to deliver and as long as you are a good golfer and becomes eligible, you can take part in the tournaments. No corruption, no match fixing, no selectors. This one game, you can play as a family and have fun. No injury scare and if you choose to walk the 18 holes instead of using a cart, it is a great exercise as well.

The rules are a lot simpler than figuring out duck worth formula. Once you start playing it is very easy to understand the rules.
golf is perhaps made to feed the ego of the rich who play it feigning that there there is some complex art involved & some special talent is required.frankly, all the slumkids playing gulli-danda can play golfff better than these MEN.

I pity you. It is true that slightly richer people play in west, but like any game it requires the skill to win and like any game there is fun and entertainment and suspense in the game. Gulli danda can no where be compared with this game.

Golf is at most a luxurious passtime where any chance of playing it would require a lot of money to be spent. I (and many whom i have talked to) dont feel it is a sport with any particular aesthetics, suspense or any sort of entertaining element to it. If it was not in the West, i dont see any chance of Gold being recognised as a sport.

The first part is true, but the second part is incorrect , it has a lot of suspense and entertainment to it, only if you play it and then watch it. Once you play Golf , you can never stop. Watching a sport you don't ahve apssion for is always boring. There are a lots of people whp find cricket boring.
