1, rich people play golf because it is expensive and because it brings many benefits. First of all, golf is a sport with high exercise value. If you don't use a cart, you have to walk more than 8 kilometers, including trial swing and swing more than 200 times. Moreover, the terrain of the stadium is uneven, and the effect of this kind of exercise is much higher than walking on a flat road. The physical quality of the participants is not high, and they can play from children to 90 years old, which can be described as lifelong sports. Secondly, golf is an excellent social means, and friends made and trust established through golf can last for a long time or even a lifetime. If business talks are needed, the golf course is an ideal place. Finally, golf can cultivate a person's good character and elegant temperament. There is a saying that children who play golf do not learn badly. These benefits don't mean that other sports don't exist, but for the rich, they feel more suitable for themselves and affordable. Besides, the rich also like climbing mountains, going out to sea, flying airplanes, playing polo and racing cars.

2. Golf is no longer an aristocratic sport, it originated from ordinary people, because the royal nobles made great efforts to its development after16th century, and now many nobles especially like it. Of all the stadiums in the world, most are open to the public and the prices are reasonable. Golf can enter the Olympic Games, which shows that its popularity is quite high.

3. In China, it is true that you can afford to play golf at present, but the economic strength here doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have tens of millions of money and you can play golf if you have plenty of money. To make an inappropriate analogy, many people don't agree that mahjong lost 1 1,000 yuan, but this 1 1,000 yuan is enough to play 27 holes of golf. It's just that ordinary media never give positive publicity to golf, and occasionally deliberately discredit it, so people themselves have distanced themselves from the sport and think it is either rich or expensive.

Mr. Rong Gaotang, the founder of China Golf, once said a sentence that impressed me deeply: One more shot is health, and one less shot is happiness.
