Similarities between golf and music

1. You can play as an individual or as a team member

2. It is universal, played throughout the world

3. It can be played by young and old alike

4. Irrespective of accomplishment you can play in any company and be afforded the courtesy that will allow you to perfom

5. Playing with those more accomplished than yourself improves your performance

6. Extremely social irrespective of class, colour or creed

Another of its great advantages for its amateur ranks at least - you can play the same courses as the "greats". Very few amateur footballers or cricketers ever get the chance to play the likes of Wembley or Lords.
