Is golf a sport?

Golf is truly not eevryone’s knd of game, golf are played by people who could afford to hire caddie, rent to play on golf courses and hardly shed a sweat under umbrellas and get to ride on golf cars.and an extra added glamourous status and enormous big prize money.

Hello sportsbuff

Yes golf is a sport, a number of pro athletes play golf and for sure all of them ride in carts rather then walk. I personally say its a contact sport, WHY, (because if you do not make good contact on the clubhead you cannot play well) :)

Caddies are not needed and the cost of a game of golf is not that bad anymore and if you join a golf club then the more you play the cheaper it gets.

As far as the prize money goes for the pros I think that may be a little out of hand for sure, but its now all a part of the game. I think most prize money in most sports is out of control.
