Sport:
noun
1. an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
Since you've never played the game, you haven't a clue as to the actual physical exertion and hand-eye coordination needed to play competitively... (a 9 iron and a plastic ball doesn't count...)

Oh, too bad, i can hit a plastic ball 9 iron with the best of them. An accurate 30 yards.
.......And get a new recent History and economics teacher because Real wages have ONLY increased in the last 2 years. No real change (taking inflation into consideration since 1990. And I have covered ALL that in prior posts. Maybe I need to water down the economic vocabulary.
........So, you admit that back then, you were just PRACTICING! Sorry, I could NOT resist that Bad, old Doctor joke.
