Been playing golf for the past 20 years of my life. It's a great game that involves an array of clubs used to hit balls into a progression of holes in as little amount of attempts as possible!
I try to get into it but can't. I do like driving the golf cart.
It can be a fun game, especially since it can involve different terrain, whether it's long fairways, roughs with long grass, or sand traps, and even water and rocks. Lots of obstacles to keep things interesting.
I'm from Scotland and people here love it. 
I could see why! The modern game of golf is actually one that originated in 15th century Scotland, so it makes sense that they feel it's part of their heritage and culture.
Interesting, people over here play in the rain and snow. You see them playing in all weather. It's crazy.
Yeah, they may not have a choice, since it's always outdoors. It's not like other games that have standardized playing areas. It has to cope with all the different terrains available, and playing against those is a part of the game! 
putt putt golf now that's a game of the gods.
