I think golf is boring. That's about it.
It's only the really old courses that don't allow women to play. I've never been to one of those though. Hell, there were 6 girls on my highschool golf team. It's a fun sport. Some people think it's boring, but I think it's nice to get outside and walk around on a pretty golf course.
And as for the way people dress... It depends on what course you go to. Shorts and a nice shirt can work at most courses. My only gripe was I wore jeans last time I went golfing and I was told to never wear them again at that course.
Golf is incredibly elitist. No, seriously, you have no idea how elitist it is. I know several people who just plays it to show off their wallets. They don't even like the sport. It's like watching "Keeping up appearances", just way less funny. MIND THE PEDESTRIAN, RICHARD! :eek:
I love that show xD!Quote:

That's funny because that's not how I play it. Or how anyone I know plays it. The "showing off their wallets" thing could be true, seeing as some courses are pretty pricey to play on. But not every one of them. :oQuote:

The difference with other sports is that the courses are free to enfore what they see fit, just like restaurants do, and some workplaces, and a lot of schools.
About the issue of wealth, yes, it's true that for some people, it's a way to show their wealth (mostly western culture), because golf kept that prestigious image, whereas playing soccer just doesn't cut it. But at the same time, it's also getting popular with kids who aren't necessarily part of the upper class.
That's probably the difference between golf in Norway and golf in the US. But anyway, there will always be people who play the game simply because they like it, but golf has a more amount of people who play it to show off than most other sports, imo.Quote:

I love golf and I have never had any problems getting on any course. I agree with the dress code to a point because I don't want to see hairy armpits on guys on the course or at a restaurant...or women in the swimsuits for that matter. Some classier/snobbier courses go a bit too far with their dress code, but these are all private courses and they have the right to set the code to what they want. I just won't play there if they're too snobby because I probably wouldn't be able to afford that course anyways then. :)
