32% of golfers would ditch sex to play golf

A Golf Monthly poll has revealed an astonishing 32% of golfers would rather give up sex than pack away their clubs for good, while 52% would give eating meat the boot to keep hitting the fairways

In a surprising poll ran on the Golf Monthly forum, an astonishing 32% of golfers revealed they would rather give up sex than pack away their clubs for good, while 52% would give eating meat the boot to keep hitting the fairways.

Asked a range of hypothetical questions to determine their love for the game, Golf Monthly’s forum members didn’t disappoint.

Apart from giving up sex, where 68% of golfers said they would pack in the sport, in all other categories playing golf got the vote.

Perhaps the biggest thing to fall by the wayside was eating meat, with 52% of golfers happy to give up Sunday roasts and barbecues if it meant they could keep playing in Medals and Stablefords.

The next closest contest was going on holidays, with two thirds of voters happy to shun a few weeks in the sun for hours of enjoyment at their local course.

Other categories includes ‘Golf vs playing and watching sport’, where only 18% of voters would opt to give up golf, and ‘Golf vs Birthdays and Christmas’, which saw 72% give presents the boot.
