Golf would be much better if it were full contact.
The pussification of everything continues. Not less violence, more violence in sports. Bone crunching body busting fun. Remember when football was a game? Remember when men played in leather helmets? And hardly any pads? And not a bunch of grab ass limp wristed sissified Nancy boys?
Not a sports fan. Couldn't really care less. But I do understand what it means to compete. I used to do SCA tourneys a long time ago, back when broken bones and getting plastered on mead was all the rage. Now, they to are pussified. Victory means nothing if you don't sacrifice something to earn it.
Sigh. I hate being old enough to remember that a fat lip and a black eye is good for you.

Your types can waste time getting themselves cleaned up and "toughened", the rest of us can use it to get smarter. That's a viewpoint right now.
Anyway, golf is really designed to be boring it seems, those are the type of people who play and watch it. If someone wants tougher sports, they have boxing and football to watch.
I've never gotten why people look up to boxers and football players anyway, since I don't think many people are really interested in using their life to beat the crap out of each other.
