I play golf. I'm 25. All my friends play golf as well. You ususally see old people out there because they don't have a schedule. When you're married or have kids (or both), it's a bit more tricky to get out on the greens.
If you're going to do anything outside it's cool with me. Folf is still better than doing nothing. At least that's how I see it.

I guess I was bashing it because I've never seen anyone play it other than dirty hippies.

I'll say it again. I have no right to hold anything against the game and honestly hope that everyone can enjoy it. Just disregard anything I've said about it. I really hope I haven't tainted/ruined the experience for you.
