Golf: which types it suits

In golf the aim is to get the ball into each hole in as few strokes as possible, and a full course usually has 18 holes. Most people learn their swing at a driving range first, then move on to indoor simulators or a real course. A round takes several hours, and walking the course and chatting with your playing partners is a big part of the experience. Even a single swing involves grip, stance and tempo, so many golfers keep taking lessons for years, and etiquette between players matters a lot.

Golf suits people who enjoy refining the same movement over and over, and who like recording and analysing the result of every shot. You can compete with your partners, but in the end you're really playing against your own score, so anyone who practises steadily can clearly see themselves improving. It's a natural fit for people who enjoy calm and concentration.
