No. My dad took me golfing when I was about 14, and I had an abreaction. I couldn't believe the ratio of dedicated real estate to net sports activity. I still can't. Consider the ratio of table tennis, by comparison.

Uh, and since you brought up a male tendency toward honesty/fidelity/monogamy in marriage as an evolutionary attribute, however doubtful, I couldn't resist digging up another of my old favorites:
jake hates
	  all the girls(the
shy ones, the bold		paul scorns all
ones; the meek				       the girls(the
proud sloppy sleek)		bright ones, the dim
all except the cold		ones; the slim
		   ones		plump tiny tall)
				all except the
					      dull ones
gus loves all the
		 girls(the
warped ones, the lamed		mike likes all the girls
ones; the mad						(the
moronic maimed)			fat ones, the lean
all except			ones; the mean
	  the dead ones		kind dirty clean)
				all
				   except the green ones
