Should golf be a sport at the Olympics?
Golf made a return to the sporting program for the 2016 Olympic Games, though not everyone agrees that it should have. Golf has been part of the Olympics before. Some critics have said that it will mess up the PGA Tour season. Should it be in the Olympics?
After 554 votes (from 2016-2020), the 'no' vote has won out, but it was fairly close. Golf has remained on the program since 2016, so there must be plenty of people who believe that it deserves its place in the Olympics.

- No baseball, softball, or wrestling, but table tennis, badminton, now golf??? It's crazy!! (from JAS, Feb 2013)
- Watching the same guys play at the Olympics as I see on Sunday afternoons all year long - what a bore. Golf already has multiple major championships. I feel the same way about tennis. At least soccer is an u-23 tournament. I don't understand how wrestling could be dropped - The world has lost a great tradition. Is this a conspiracy against Iran and the other wrestling nations?
