Golf is most definitely a sport, especially at its highest levels where walking is a requirement. Duval and Els' comments show how much they take for granted the skill and athleticism they possess. Without the element of walking, golf is nothing more than billiards played on a 6,000 yard table. To be classified a sport, an activity must contain both a defense and an offense. Bowling would be a sport if one could tackle the bowler as he approaches the line.
Golf is defended by the course layout and traps.
