Golf? Athletic??????
Hell, if I wanted to be a lower middle class asshole with pretensions of appearing well-off and connected, *I* could play golf like my father did practically every weekend.

I’d play it badly, just as I play any sport badly because I suck at all sports, even the ones that don’t require actual strength, endurance, and athleticism (like golf and bowling), but the only reason I’d work up a sweat on the golf course is if I’m playing in summer or it’s a sunny day.

Seriously, for most golfers, you drive the cart out to the tee, hit the ball, get back in the cart, drive it to where the ball landed, get out of the cart, hit the ball again, get back in the cart, and repeat the process.

The only danger for the nonathletic is looking like a doofus if you fail to hit the ball on your swing. The psychological damage to one’s pride is the worst challenge one faces when playing golf.
