While golf is a game and competition and is very difficult to coat, it is not a sport. There is no defense in golf. I believe a sport requires the opportunity to defense against your opponent.

Define sport
so gymnastics, cheer and dance aren’t sports?
I disagree with you, bowling is a sport.
Agreed. Same with darts, pool, snooker etc.
so..you don’t consider things like ballet, figure skating, horseback riding…
as a sport? how odd
Then neither are bowling, swimming, tracks, gymnastics and vast majority of the sports in Olympics.
TIL Swimming, Cycling, Running and Skiing aren’t sports. In fact, Usain bolt isnt even an athlete! Neither is Michael Phelps! How crazy is that
Upvoted for an actual unpopular opinion but by definition you’re just straight up wrong.
That criteria eliminates a lot of things people consider sports. Gymnastics, skate boarding, most of the Winter Olympics (maybe everything besides Hockey), and probably a lot of others I can’t think of right now.
Edit: all the track and field stuff too!
It’s sport though. It’s a competition with tools.
So many posts in this sub are just dumb thoughts, not unpopular opinions.
This is a wild take that I cannot fathom the idea of agreeing with on so many levels. Have my up vote.
Oxford dictionary defines a sport as “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or a team competes against another or others for entertainment” your “definition” of sport if you can even call it that is completely wrong.
Another Redditor making up their own definitions.
By this logic, half of the Olympics are not sports.
This was posted the other day and was wrong then too.
>I believe a sport requires the opportunity to defense against your opponent.
Defense from what, scoring points? But golf has a point system.
So therefore it’s a sport, only using that logic that points are needed to win a competition. Defense isn’t always needed to score the most points.
This baboon guzzled a bit too much beer
I guess someone should tell my daughter’s track team that they aren’t doing sports.
My guess: OP has tried golfing and shot 43+ (that’s without counting the mulligans).
