Golf is not a sport, prove me wrong. You drive around in a golf cart putting balls into holes. There’s no physical strain or exercise. It’s not even that competitive.

Either the source changed or I missed that one. I wish someone had mentioned it earlier but I don't want to reset the stats on the day the quiz is featured, so its going to have to wait until the next update.

Since I know nothing about golf my reasoning was pretty much "more rich people = more golf courses"

Didn't work out the best but got 10/14

Very surprising to me that Japan is that high on the list. With usable land at a premium, you'd think that golf courses would be a very low priority use.

japanese and the koreans are crazy about golf. in the middle east even during the damn hot summer, they are the majority of those playing, along with some westerners.

in the business world in the west, out of office meetings are usually lunch or power breakfasts. In asia and in Japan in particular, its usually business dinner or business golf. So golf is very important in terms of business relationship.

even though 80 percent of the land is mountain, they make golf courses in the remaining 20 percent of playable land, very efficient there too.

I’m surprised I was able to get 13/14, considering I never actually cared about golf.

Not surprised to see Ireland on here . if the worldwide recession hadn't happened and the building boom continued it was possible that Ireland would now be one big golf course .

Glad my country isn't on this list. Golf courses are an environmental disaster.
