DUDE, GOLF IS GOOD!!! ITS A REAL MAN'S SPORT. I PLAY
I find golf boring. Thats it though.
People are complaining that golf has an informal "dress code". Well if you're playing soccer you're expected to wear some sort of dress appropriate for the sport. You say golf is "anti-goth". Exactly what sport is "pro-goth"? You don't see a hockey team with black eyeliner wearing various Shock rock shirts now do you. The whole "Gentleman only, Ladies forbidden" is an urban legend anyway.
Anti-Goth? Would you care to explain yourself a bit better there? Golf has a certain etiquette to it, and wearing "gothic" clothes isn't very nice. Besides, you play golf in very hot weather most of the time. Why would you wear black clothes? You would get extremely hot and possibly suffer from heat dehydration.
As for golf being discrimitory against women, I disagree with you there as well. Males are, in terms, "favored" for watching golf only because it has been exposed more by the media (and because of very famous golfers such as Tiger Woods and Singh). I watch women's golf from time to time, and I don't find it very exciting at all. The women play a very flat game, with little to no drama whatsoever.
Also, the reason as to why men and women don't play together is simply because of physical factors. Men have much stronger swings than women in golf (I'm not being sexist, it is simply fact unless I'm wrong) and because of this they play at different areas of each course (men start at a different point than the females as the males always start much further back then the ladies - you see this at any golf course you go to.)
Actually, I have tickets to see the LPGA as they're coming to the Glen Arbor golf course. Looking forward to it.
In the past golf was a very sexist game, but that's pretty much all sorted now with the exception of the Masters, but tradition is tradition and there is nothing you can really do about it.
Why should golf be banned? It's a billion dollar business that some companies rely on to advertise their products. You wouldn't want to see these businesses die, would you? That dosen't seem right at all.
Golf has always had several rules, just like football or hockey. It's a sport. Sports have rules. If you such a big problem with golf, you can simply not watch it. Problem solved.
