I think the answer to this is quite simple. There is a higher percentage of whites that like to play golf than other races. Personally, I think a better question is, Why do the people who like it, like it. I've tried to play golf, I just don't enjoy it. Unless they decide to make it a contact sport, add a shotgun, or make you hit the ball from the back of a dirt bike going 30mph, I probably won't even watch it on tv. I will admit it is a game that requires a fair amount of skill. The rodeo requires a lot of skill and I'm not interested in it either.

Toxic, If you want to make a point I encourage you to do so without the name calling and crude language. It typically only serves to make you look unintelligent.

Actually, judging from this last post, I'm enjoying his posts more and more.

If I want to excersise my mental capacity I will play chess, or read a book, or watch jeopardy. Golf is a sport for the pretentious and people with no athletic ability. It is great for old farts who have nothing better to do than look back on how boring and crappy their uneventful existences were asthey begin their slow crawl to death. Thusly, dumbass crusty old farts love it so much, they actually get emotional when someone insults it. HA! I love MMA but i'm not gonna resort to namecalling if someone thinks it is a sport for beligerent and pugilistic fools.
There are a few pro golfers out there who are actually overweight - not many though. Also, the average golfer can play the sport competitively well into his 40s. It is still damn hard to be good at. Either you love it or you hate it.

John Daly fits that profile.

John Daly drank beer during a rain delay when he played under a sponsor's exemption last month. His caddy (or coach) really felt disgusted with Daly, so he quit. Daly didn't comment on that afterward.

Spoken like someone that stands to close to the ball, AFTER THEY HIT IT. Golf, when taken serious, is like playing a game of chess out in the open. One play of strategy dictates the next. One must consider the surrounding environment, like wind speed, the contour of the ground, distance to the intended target, pending hazards, ball position in the stance, should it be forward, center, or back, and all this before the ball is struck. Next, one must have practiced enough to have ingrained a repeatable consistency of their swing plane in relation to their natural internal tempo and timing. Thus, this is the real reason that Golf is called Golf.........because all the other 4 letter words had been taken. Where else but in the game of Golf is one given a long straight stick with a crooked head on it and told to hit a small round ball "SQUARELY'? It looks easy, and has made many a fine tuned athlete look like an octopus swinging a golf club in a phone booth(Charles Barkley), and many such people walk away declaring that it is a "sissy" game. Because the game must be approached from the neck up instead of from the neck down, and as hard as they try they cannot get a 1 7/8 in. ball into a 4 in. hole 500 yards away by "muscling" it to do what they want. You never really win at golf, because you play against yourself and the elements, thus you just play. Some are better at playing with themselves than others, thus there is no way that "self pleasure" can be compared to being "GAY". Where else does one have to go pay money so they can play with themselves? Gay? No....desperate maybe. (R)

Chess is the past-time of kings, and golf is the past-time of the bourgeoisie.

Nothing might be intrinsically wrong with the game in and of itself, but you can't deny its roots and accompanying stigma. I'm sure the strategy of the game is all complicated and all that good stuff, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to play, but that doesn't deny the game's elitist disconnect from the average American. The game doesn't make much sense to the average American who's life doesn't involve privileged memberships in expensive country clubs (that exclude blacks and Jews) and wearing ugly golf shirts with flat caps on a regular basis.
