Some golf courses are very pretty.
Augusta National and Pebble Beach Spyglass Hill are two.

If you go to Pebble Beach you can also travel south to Big Sur.
That is a beautiful part of California. Scenic, and there is a crazy public road right on the edge of the sea, and scenic old bridges. Nice restaurants, even a bookstore with really tall trees on its grounds.

Golf was invented to make cricket look exciting

I think golf has to be the most boring game I have ever seen. Hit the ball, walk after it. Hit the ball, walk after it. Hit the ball, walk after it. Hit the ball into the hole, miss, then try again.
Now you have reached the first hole. Repeat this process either 9 or 18 times.
What a snoozefest.
No offense to those who enjoy it. It just isn't for me.

It is a mostly a game of skill although I can see how golf, and the same with some other sports, can bore people. The top tier players do make some amazing shots.
Golf courses can be beautiful. Pretty azaleas and other flowers.
White sand traps I find visually appealing.

This is so true.
I spent a week at a local country club installing a security system. It was a very beautiful area. Lots of green, flowers, trees. Even the buildings were made of beautiful stonework.
They had a problem with kids climbing the fence at night and taking the golf carts joy-riding. The final straw was when they dumped a couple of them in the lake. I designed a system using a 100-foot extension cord looped through the steering wheels of each cart. There was no way to take a cart out without setting off the alarm.
Very often during that job, I would take my lunch out to a bench and just enjoy the beauty of being outdoors.

Sounds like good duty to me!
