>Golf is essentially a single player game that you play against yourself.
With modern golf, yes. This is only because of the advent of television. Match-play used to dominate the game, and is still advocated my many (myself included), which allows direct competition, and introduces risk-reward strategy depending on how the other player plays.
- eru 2y agoWell, even match-play is about as interactive as running a race. Very different from the direct interaction you have in a game like Baseball.
- scoofy 2y agoIt's really not. You can absolutely change your strategy based on what the other player is doing.
- eru 2y agoRunners tell you the same thing. Or bicyclists.
- sk5t 2y agoAre those runners and bicyclists not confused? Taking a risk in golf could save a stroke or cost several; are runners making mistakes like "run harder for a bit but fall into a pond" or "run harder for a bit but exceed limits and take an injury"?
