Something about golf

No, I don’t play it nor am I a fan. A friend plays golf regularly (and is quite passionate about it) and hence there are times when golf gets discussed. The friend is so into it that nothing can come in between golf practice, like for example, not even a very close friend’s milestone birthday. I don’t like the game…at all. I don’t know it either. It’s beyond me to fathom how a game can be so expensive and available only to the rich. Do you know any person of modest means who plays golf? Any golf club membership is through the roof. Clearly it’s an elite game. Maybe that’s the reason I don’t like it. Especially here, you’re so used to playing games with just about everyone and everywhere…you play cricket, badminton, throwball, volleyball, football, hockey even on the streets if a ground or a court is not near by. If there is a nearby ground (which is the case almost everywhere), you can play basketball as well. You can swim in the neighbourhood swimming pool. You can play TT, snooker, tennis, swim in the neighbourhood club (invariably someone in the family or among friends will be a member). Accessibility being the keyword here. Golf, did you say?
