The best answer I have heard to this question came from a gay, African American. He claimed to have taken up the sport because... in his words,
"Its the only place where I can wear my most ridiculous combination of colors and styles and no one bats an eyelid. I already knew most of the male population had a hidden desire to dress more like me but at the time I didn't realise that these dreams are a basic reality for golfers. I didn't realise that most golfers score between 4 and 5 on the Kinsey scale. It was a no brainer for me to get into that kind of company."
Do any of you share this opinion?
