Why does it seem like only men play golf?

It seems like only men play golf because you rarely see women golfing on TV. And, women just don't play golf in numbers in the USA like in other parts of the world. For example, golf in Asia very popular among both men and women.

Yes golf is a gentleman's sport but that does not mean it has to be so stiff.  I don't know the details of what Lucy did but I thing I have an idea of what she did.  \n\nGolf is changing it has to because we have to many golf courses and not enough players.  There is nothing wrong with having fun on the course.  Last week was women's golf week and next month the PGA is promoting a take your daughter to the golf course week.  The golf course is a great place for everyone in the family to have fun.  There is nothing wrong with having a little fun on the golf course.  The person on my Icon played in a golf tournament that day.  He shot 68 and had some fun.

Golf is one game where the little guy has improved as well as the athelete because of advances in equipment design. \nThat's why we see the redesign of golf courses now.  Longer and narrower par 5's, faster greens, longer rough, ect.\n\nFrankly though, you still have to sink the putts to score. This is what separates the 300+ yard hitters on the Nike tour from the pros on the PGA... except for Mr. Conditioned Athlete John Daly that is... it's just fun to watch him smack a ball.

Y E S! If the shoe were on the other foot and womens pro golf tournaments were open to male players, the WOMEN on the tour would soon go broke.\n\nAs with most sports, women golfers cannot compete on an equal playing field with male golfers? And golf people know this, otherwise women's tee boxes would not be where they are and have been for at least 75 years; as much as 100 yds ahead of the mens tees.

Yes, firstly the robot would not be able to be determined of his gender, and therefore cannot tee off from any of the gentleman or lady tee. Secondly, your robot would need to gauge the distant from his ball to the green, and since the robot is an electronic device, the use of such device for the purpose will be in breach of rule 14-3 of usga rules. (see reference in the site below). Given time, I would be able to think of many other rules that this robot will breach but by simply common sense, you wouldn't happen to have such a robot, and evenif you do, why would you let a robot play golf. I would play myself.

It's hard to watch golf on tv and enjoy it.  It doesn't really lend itself to tv well.  The only thing I can say is to actually enjoy playing golf.  Then you realize how good these guys actually are, and how nice the courses are that they play on.

I am not sexist in any way, so dont think I am. The caliber of mens play compared to women is much higher. In some sports women do step up and get a chance to play in mens leagues, but usually end up giving up on that. In the sports that women played against men, such as hockey, with the tampa bay goaltender, she made the NHL, played one game and got smoked, she never tried to go back. Men have a more competitive nature and the body to back it up. Women are usually not built to be a big football or hockey player.  But some of them do what they can to get to the level they can play with the men. I dont know if they are trying to prove something or what. But the reason men sports are more popular is because more men watch sports than women. And a lot more men play sports then women, men are dominant in sports. Women do not get into sports as much. And there are also a lot of sexist guys out there that feel women should not play sports, which i think is ridiculous.

Generally speaking, the prize money in men's tournaments tends to be better.  I don't think it's about equlity so much as it's about cash.

No of course not! Men are more likely to engage in sports that are physical and appealing to an audience. It's not about who's favored, its about who's playing it. When's the last time anyone drove by a basketball court and saw a group of women playing a game of half court.

Actually it is possible.  For some golfers, their golfswing is dictated by their nondominant side, ie\n\nRight handed tennis players swing golf club with their left side, but not all of them.\n\nThis often can lead to problems when transitioning back to golf.

men mature slower than women.  they want a good time when the women are looking for husbands.  so unfortunately it's up to us to wait for them to want it.  There are a few out there who are great guys... but unfortunately they get snatched up by a few great girls.  sigh. \n\never feel like "everybody's buddy, nobody's hunny?"  lol- that's me.

For me personally, it brings out the perfectionist in me.  I was always good at sports, but golf is the hardest that I've ever played.  I think that is the reason why many great athletes play golf.  Not only is it a challenge, but it is completely individual (so you can't blame anyone else), and it is a lifetime sport.  Its great when you are older because its not a huge strain on the body, and you don't have to be good at it or in good shape to enjoy it.\n\nThink about it:  How many people can play basketball or soccer when they are over 60?  Very few.  Even fewer can play football.  But I'd bet about 95% could still play golf!

I have to agree with you.  If women were as good as men, would there be a need for them to have their own crappy leagues like the WNBA, LPGA (with closer tees), WTA, etc?  If women are just as good as men, shouldnt they be held to the same standards and compete in the same leagues, against men?  Im sure there is a very small number of women that could compete at that level, and they should be allowed to and welcomed.  But the opportunity to play professionally would disappear for a huge number of women if that was to come to pass.\nBy the way- there was a dude recently trying to play in the LPGA.  He said if women were going to play in the PGA and take up a man's spot in the tournament, the same thing should be allowed in the women's tour.  Women love it when another women tries to take on the men, they dont seem to like it nearly as much when the table gets turned on them.

I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS TURNED IN A TRUTHFUL SCRAMBLE SCORE CARD IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. I HAVE PLAYED IN MANY AND HAVE SEEN SCORES AS LOW AS 53, THE HONESTY OF GOLF GOES AWAY IN A SCRAMBLE, THEY JUST WANT TO WIN...
