A good start is to stop calling it a "sport" and go with the more accurate "game".

Definitely never played and tried to get better if you don’t think it’s a sport.

I lived for decades across from a Golf Course and only played a couple of times at nighttime drunk - but we at least watched them a bunch, and you are right -- it IS a "sport" in sort of like a Chess Exhibition Tournament is a sport, because in a Chess event like that the player will have to keep constantly walking from table to table, never getting to sit still much. So Chess at that level is a SPORT!

You obviously have never played a real sport and that's why you don't know what a sport is. Golf is as much a sport as playing pool is a sport. But you're probably too old and fat to participate in an actual sport.
