I think it also allows for talking and doing business deals at the same time. Other sports don’t have that, unless it’s a board game.

- vanderZwan 6y agoAgreed on the first part, that's where being a proxy for taking a walk comes into play. But regarding the second part: almost any lawn game would qualify for that, no? This could also be done over a game of horseshoes or Kubb. But that would miss all the other the gatekeeping, in-group signaling qualities mentioned. Although maybe croquet qualifies as posh enough... Now you're having me wonder if we can categorize lawn games by the classes that play them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn_game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn_game
- rubidium 6y agoCan we make Kubb a replacement for golf please? I’d be on the fast track to CEO :)
- mod 6y agoBowling, billiards, shuffleboard, darts, disc golf seem suitable off the top of my head. I'm sure there's many more.
- prox 6y agoBut bowling and billiards, darts have a more “pleb” air about them, something business folks seem keen on avoiding often.
