The thing about golf is, it’s popularity has legitimized it to the point that it’s formed its own brand of cool and it’s transcended its obvious nerdy-ness.
Let’s not forget: this is a sport of men – white men — who think that Tiger Woods is good-looking. This is a sport that features a Swede with a flat-brimmed hat and a polka dot wardrobe.
