Why People Support Golf

Ever wonder why golf is growing in popularity and people
who don't even play go to tournaments or watch it on TV? These truisms
may shed some light on the reasons why.

Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of players
being honorable people who don't need referees.

Golfers don't scratch their privates on the golf course.

Golfers don't kick dirt on or throw bottles at other people.

Professional golfers are compensated in direct proportion to
how well they play.

Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight
when they travel between tournaments.

Golfers don't hold out for more money or demand new contracts
because of another player's deal.

When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them
or to back them up.

The PGA Tour raises more money for charity in one year than the
National Football League does in two years.

You can watch the best golfers in the world up close at any
tournament, including the majors, all day, every day for $25 or $30.
The cost for a seat in the nosebleed section at the Super Bowl will
cost you around $300 or more.

In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a season.

Golf doesn't change its rules to attract fans.

Golfers keep their clothes on while they are being interviewed.

Golf doesn't have free agency.
In their prime, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and other stars would
shake your hand and say they were happy to meet you. In his prime
Jose Conseco wore T-shirts that read "Leave Me Alone".

You can hear birds chirping on the gold course during a tournament.

Ladies are welcome players.

You will not hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty
name calling as in sports stadiums and arenas whil hoping no one
spills beer on you.
