In contrast, pre-menopausal straight women and gay men typically find golf pointless. For example, despite incessant socialization toward golf, only one out of nine wives of PGA touring pros plays golf herself! And gay male golf fanatics are so rare that it's difficult to even come up with an exception that proves this rule (which might explain why golfers wear those god-awful pants). Interesting article, but some of the premises and generalizations - like the one I quoted - are just silly (I say that as a premenopausal straight woman who avidly plays golf both with my husband and with my straight female friends). Nowadays, only Jesper Parnevik still wears goofy-looking pants - the rest of the PGA tour seems to prefer Dockers.
This article was written seven and a half years ago, which could account for the pants thing.
