Since the early1400’s, golf has been a luxury pastime for men and later, women. For years, the big debacle on golf has been the debate on whether golf is a game or sport. Personally, I believe golf is a sport because, like most sports, golf involves a ball. The sport also involves the players training for many hours out on the course just like a basketball player would spend time on a basketball court. Though many spectators could argue that golf is a game rather than a sport, the two greatly differ.
