Golf being a rich person's game isn't "a take" - it's the truth. The financial barrier to entry is probably the highest for any sport that doesn't require a horse. Golf courses are the size of neighborhoods; they are excessive by design, and the pompous culture of avid golfers leans into that hard.

I remember my golf outings when I worked for a major financial services firm. Our managing partner would force the office to go out for an occasional golf day as a "thank you" after busy seasons. It was basically another day of work since none of the millennials wanted to be there dealing with snide remarks and side-eyes from the entitled old pricks who golfed there all the time. I'd honestly rather have just been at the office, and everyone would have preferred the day off instead.

Golf sucks and I'm glad the youth are killing it.

And no, I'm not referring to putt-putt or top golf. Those are fine.

I'm sorry you have a hate-on for golf for whatever reason, but I've golfed tons of times with my friends who weren't financially well off at plenty of decent courses, and they primarily played with clubs they bought for cheap or got gifted.

If you treat it like a hobby, like a vast majority of people who golf do, then it's only as expensive as you want it to be, and at the ground it isn't that expensive at all.
