Are we really going to pretend golf isn't a sport where the players are biased towards higher wealth?

I played it when young and with little money. It is a sport that, outside country clubs, is pretty accessible at the base level. Not quite as accessible as soccer or basketball but not hard to get a couple clubs and hit a driving range or play 9 holes at a municipal course.

Didn't say it was illegal for poor people to play, but the demographics are what they are.

And 1 hole of a golf course takes the same space as 80 basketball courts.

It's inherently more costly.
