-
first we're thrust into a discussion about
-
what the essential nature,
-
or purpose, or telos of golf really is.
-
Does it include walking?
-
And, here's something I think
-
is rumbling beneath the surface of this debate,
-
whether walking partly determines
-
whether golf is really an athletic competition.
-
After all, the ball sits still.
-
You have to put it in a hole.
-
Is it more like basketball, baseball, and football?
-
Golf, an athletic competition?
