What other sport can so many people play into their old age. You go to any retirment village and 90 percent of the residents are playing golf. What a sport. Last month I played with a blind golfer and I got beat. This guy was incredible.
People from all ages and all economic statuses can go down the street to the public course and play golf. People that are intimidated when they go out on the course need to play a few rounds with my grandmother. She goes out, has a great time, and shoots well into the high 170's. After each shot she laughs and said "that could have been worse". Does she care about winning. No, she loves to be out with her friends having a good time. After all. Isn't it all about getting out there and enjoying your friends and the beautiful day. Although most golfers want to get better, golfing is more about relationships and happiness. Think about grandma the next time you are on the course getting upset with yourself. She'll put a smile on your face.
