I play Golf and have had this argument with many people trying to tell me that it is not a sport but rather a game or hobby, so I need your opinions what classifies a sport.

(For the record: My answer is if I can buy supplies for it at Sports Authority, and watch it on CBS Sports, then its a sport)

      A sport is a competition involving physical activity
      A game may or may not involve physical activity –> Monopoly
      A hobby is a recreational activity that may or may not be compteitive –> stamp collecting
