Re: If you play it for money, you are likely breaking the law

One my friends argued this point, too, but I disagreed. Clearly golf requires physical skill. But do your opponents change your strategy? Perhaps in a one-on-one match play tournament, they would. (IE, you go for shots because you're X shots down and are basically throwing a hail-mary) However, since most golf rounds (including tournaments) are NOT match play, it's more of you against the course, because you don't interact with your opponent.

In early rounds, I wouldn't think your play is impacted much. However, in the closing stages (assuming you are in contention), how aggressive or conservative your strategy is depends on how your opponents are faring. I certainly wouldn't lump in golf with sports like football, basketball, etc, but I don't think it deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as poker or horseshoes either.
