its most peoples thing they do to fuck off from lifes bullshit.

No… not most.

According to the National Golf Foundation, 41.1 million Americans played golf – BOTH on-course and off-course – in 2022.

This record-setting total includes 25.6 million people who played on a golf course and another 15.5 million who participated exclusively in off-course golf activities at places like driving ranges, indoor golf simulators, or golf entertainment venues like Topgolf and Drive Shack.

So only about 8%… or 12%, if you include those who participate in “off-course golf activities” alone.
