Golf is a sport - and many people view ALL sport as being rubbish.
What is the point of golf or any other sport ?.
It's an inate thing especially in the male of the species to physically or mentally challenge another Male(s) either singularly or in teams.
I would much prefer men to be engaging in this ( some see as pointless ) activity or pursuit rather than , punching each other , fighting in armies and killing each other etc.
The game itself doesn't demand that you have to be a 6 Foot hulk or physically powerful person , persons of all statures can compete equally ,because the game demands a high degree of technique in order to hit the ball great distances - strength and muscle count for little or nothing in this game.
Many golf courses have added to the well-being of the countryside and provide local people with jobs.
Golfers aren't killing anyone, they're generally social well mannered and adjusted - they spend their money playing their daft game.
We're back to social bullying again, and minding other peoples business - I say let them get on with it, so, back to the question...
No, Golf is not rubbish, if it had have been, it wouldn't have survived for so many years and largely unchanged ,(like some of our traditional songs ).
Some sports are rubbish - but golf isn't one of them.
