When I looked through your responses to my simple Why Do You Love Golf query, I found that the overwhelming majority of your answers touched on 3 central themes. The things you love about golf, are, ironically enough, at the top of the list of things that the most recent incarnation of the grow golf moment says we need to change.Ĭould it be that what golfers love is what non-golfers hate…or at least what golfers think non-golfers hate?
