Golf is a sport. It takes physical skill to play.

Ever walk in a sporting goods store? Biggest section is the golf section? For example, Dick's Sporting Goods. Every Dick's store, the biggest section is for Golf.

High School sports? Golf is there.
College Sports? Golf is there.
Professional Sports? Golf is there.

Sports cover a very WIDE variety of activities. Don't be so shallow as too think what you like and what you don't like is what constitutes a sport or not.

Looking at the big picture, all sports are just games at their core.  That's why we "Play" them.


Biggest section at my local Dick's store is the mountain climbing section.

Walking a standard golf course is roughly 6-7 miles and it's not a level playing field such as football baseball soccer etc. , you think fatigue of concentration isnt a factor? How about the 50 lb golf bag your strapping on your shoulders?


u ride in the cart, golf takes about as much effort as danika patrick in nascar

He has a point though.. golf takes no strength, speed or stamina. just precision and control. Golf would never get you tired.


Golf 18 holes without a cart and say it wont get you tired, not as much as other sports but it does require an amount of stamina

Yep, any real golfer walks the course. Carts should only be used by old ladies and fat guys.
