Well it wasn't an entirely serious comment. Maybe it's a north/south thing, rugby isn't viewed as working class in London, all the posh schools in my area focussed on rugby and the ones in poorer areas on football. I've seen people say it's different the further north you go, I guess the same applies to golf.

I can see the appeal of playing golf on a nice day though, I just struggle watching it and find the pro golf scene to be a bit of a posh old boys club in the same way Wimbledon is. Way too many blazers on show
Used to live next to a fairly decent golf course and it was populated by Tory whoppers wearing stupid clothes who smoked Bensons or Hamlets. Always found it a sort of nouveau riche sport than a game played by the landed gentry. Lazy stereotype is upheld.
 

I hate golf, objectively terrible sport played by balding conservatives but this ESPN article on Woods is probably the best piece of sports journalism I’ve ever read

thanks that was a great read!

blown away.. I took the whole day to read that between.. well “life”... but changed the way I saw Woods. I had pegged him totally differently...
agree.. could be the best piece of sports journalism ever written... btw.. golf is awesome and awful at the same time. No sport is quite like it.
