I kind of agree with you, but then again I always say golf isn’t a sport because you wear dress pants and walk. And boxing is most definitely a sport even though the three judges frequently disagree (though that is mainly because of human perception limits).
Who was it that said, "Golf is a good walk ruined!"
Golf will be an Olympic sport in 2016.
So, is the course going to be a European course, that benefits Euros, or will the course be more for the American game?
The other silly thing about Golf in the Olympics, is that you can’t claim to be the best golfer in the world just because you won the Gold Medal in Golf. Same goes for Tennis.
