that's not it, lol. golf is not that expensive of a sport other than investing in a nice set of clubs. the real reason people don't play is it's fuckin hard and people look like idiots out there. it requires a hefty degree of hand eye coordination and solid investment in mechanics, and most people just go out there and swing.
i play 3-5x a month. i don't even mind getting paired with guys who suck, as long as they are chill about fucking up. it's hard playing with guys who think they are fucking tiger woods and they just blow something awful, then curse / throw hissy fits every time they just top the ball into the tree next to them.
but legit, who gives a shit if trump wants to nominate tiger. ok. i got plenty of huge problems with the mother fucker, i find it far more offensive how badly trump cheats at golf demonstrating what a giant pile of shit he is. giving a reward to tiger...cool. dude earned some extra for his win.
