It's more mental than relying on athleticism. Yeah, you have to be strong to drive a ball 300 yards but it's not like you have to be in amazing shape to play.
Also it's comfy as hell, you get to spend a lot of time outdoors on nice courses.
most tee times are only available during the day. so they play from 9 pm - 3 pm
That old wealthy people can't handle physical contact.
You're able to dress wealthy while playing it.
the sluts
>getting CTE is a good thing
Contact sports turn you into a brainlet
Its actually not a wealthy man's game and it bugs me that people have this perception. Many of the greatest golfers grew up dirt poor. Local public courses are not expensive at all especially if you walk and you can get clubs and balls used for not much at all. The way that the general public perceives golf and golfers is so unrealistic. Most golfers are not genteel at all. They are typically rough dudes who drink, gamble and do drugs. Ice hockey is considered a blue collar sport and it is way more expensive than golf.

Country club membership. Most are hundreds of dollars monthly, and the most exclusive ones are invitation only and have a 6 figure membership fee
country club memberships just aren't feasible on a blue collar salary these days unelss you're union
I guess because you have to have an entire month off work just to play one game.
>Its actually not a wealthy man's game
it's not that all golfers are rich, it's that golf tends to be the preferred leisure activity of the rich and being part of an exclusive country club where only WASPs are invited allows you to network with other rich people
it's competitive, frustrating and difficult. aging men who relish competition can compete well, and you can learn a lot about someone's character because their patience, decision making, coolness, and spirit are tested.
John Daly is my hero.

I don't care how wealthy I get, I'm staying on Jow Forums and ignoring my friends phone calls.
Huge area, no crowd, talking all the time which is hard in tennis.
The costs, retard.
Takes up huge amounts of real estate, requires armies of mexicans to maintain, and you spend most of the time standing around bullshitting instead of constantly running around.
It's analogous to the reason why men past 50 (those in bad shape) get a motorcycle instead of a road bicycle: It requires resources and gives you a feeling you are still somehow vital and competitive.

>6 figure membership fee
Jews won’t pay that
Niggers can’t pay that
Spics collect their groundskeeper checks then skeedaddle
Light up cigars and the women leave.
White man af and loving it.
Because it's complicated and demands your focus. Rich ppl tend to deal with more mental stress at work and having something take their attention away is sought after. At its best, golf destroys ego

I read this dude's autobio at an AirBnb in Italy one night because i was bored, dude was a player. all he did was smoke, drink, fuck and play golf.
why did the girl cut the mustache off those Groucho Marx glasses?
>the girl
you mean, you really don't know who that is?
An Arnold Palmer with a shot of vodka is called a John Daly
oh she has a mustache
It could have been a nuisance at her daily job, perhaps, dunno user.
It's because of the private courses, many still far too exclusive for someone who merely 'made it' on shitcoins to join. A long time ago these were the only types of courses so if you didn't have a membership you would never know how to play. The public courses now basically allow regular people to larp as the big swinging dick talking shop like they saw in the movies, the wealthy mans meme lives through this self deception
100% social. It's barely even a sport because most people doing it are networking with old faggots.
This. The not being at work part faggot.
Fuck you Trump MAGA you promised
Being a total waste of in some cases VERY valuable land that could be used to house more gibs me dats.
Time. Poor fags don't have time.
Niggers don't play it, and if they do, they become famous (e.g. tiger woods)
also gets you puss, i know you wont be able to relate
soccer or basketball has a $15 cost of entry, $0 if your friend has a ball. golf is at least $300+ unless you're gifted a set of clubs.
To actually have golf as a hobby, you need to play at least once a week. You have to have both the money and the time. Some people have money, but they're too busy earning it to play. Plenty of people have the time, but no money.
The percentage of unionized labor in the United States has fallen from about 35% to around 6%. And now, the Koch brothers are trying to push a bill through Congress that makes mandatory labor union dues unconstitutional. RIP
Golf is one of the very few sports where you are 100% accountable for your own performance. There is no one or nothing you can blame for the outcome other than yourself.
Except maybe darts?
Fuck unions, golf is awesome.
Bass fishing is the patricians hobby
It's a way to get away from the wife and bullshit with your other wealthy friends.
