This is certainly a debate that rages on, kind of like the debate as to whether or not gymnastics and figure skating are real sports. There are no doubt arguments about the fact that golf isn’t a sport and a child could hear this from some of the peers at school if they take a serious interest. But there is no denying that golf is indeed a game of skill in itself and it also takes a great deal of endurance to play it. Maybe it isn’t as exciting as say football or basketball, but it does have its own rules that need to be followed. So, golf could certainly be considered a sport, it takes practice and it takes skill, those are true components found in a good sport.
