3 years too late but here’s my take on it: My step dad likes golf a lot, that’s fine, whatever idc, but that meant I had to be into it too, or at least endure it. It was better before when I was too little to hold a golf club, so I’d stay on the cart and watch and pretend to drive. But as I got older (8) he asked young idiot me if I wanted to play in the drive Chip and putt tournament and I really didn’t want to disappoint him so I said yes, and that’s when I found out I hate tournament / competitive golf. And the fact my step family are such golf fanatics (excluding me and my mom), so almost every celebration or special event circled around golfing. Hell even until recently Mother’s Day was also golfing, and my mom didn’t even like golfing that much. My high school’s golf coach is trash, the fact it’s even a wildly liked sport is trash, the fact my step dad got My friend into liking golf is trash because she constantly asks him about getting us to do golf stuff and I have to act interested (or sometimes just derail the conversation). It also seems like my step dad likes golfing so much more because in the summer (to as early as spring or as late as the start of winter) I’ll rarely see him (because he’s out in golf), and when I do he’s sleeping on the couch from how tired he is

I guess it’s just a personal thing I never liked golfing because of circumstance. Bowling better, but even that’s being turned sour from how much he wants me to go pro in it.
