I am writing a paper on this topic and i need creditable sources. If you could give me some info plus some sources I would really enjoy it. You can either say that it is a sport and give details or you can give reasons why it is not a sport and give details. Thanks so much for helping me. :):)
 
Fun topic. :)

Dictionary.com

sport- an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

game- an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

Base your information on that and then look at both views, and if you can get info on the people who don't believe this.

GOOD LUCK!
 
This question has been asked many times here on Yahoo. Consider looking for all the posts to LOTs of different views. I don't remember if any sources were given.
 
Golf is not a sport in my opinion. Sorry, golf fans all over the world. I love golf too but to me it is simply recreation. What constitutes a sport? I am not sure but golf certainly should not be considered a sport.
