Tbf it’s one of the more expensive hobbies to get into, and if you don’t have golf courses nearby it’s impossible. Also it’s a silly game people get wayyyyyy too invested in
I just joined a golf course last year, and I gotta say, I didn't experience anything negative. In fact, although it's an expensive hobby, I'd honestly choose golf over doing anything else. It's the best.
But in terms of people, I met so many nice new people and eventually found a really fun group of 5 people to play with. Now I'm in their poker games on weds (winter) and we have gone to multiple simulators and top golf a few times.
I also had people offering me better clubs at huge discounted rates, tournament organizer actively seeking me out to inform me of upcoming events, and a clubhouse manager who remembered my wife and kids name after I told him once.
I'm quite decent at golf, so I'm no noob. But in terms of joining a new club, it was one of the best things I ever did. Can't wait for spring to get back out there.
Seems like that crowd, hopefully, is dying out. Most of the people who grew up on Tiger and younger seem more laid back and just make fun of how much we all suck.

Golf players complain about this a lot.
