I think you’ve missed the point. People don’t play golf because they like golf. They hear there’s this place you can go where they drive you around a nice park, they hand you beer wherever you are in the park, and you hit things with a club. What’s not to like?
Another example, sure, you could grab some booze and jump in the bath, but is that really the same as a resort with a swim-up pool bar?
There are plenty of people who play golf sober because they enjoy the game. But there are also plenty of people who just enjoy the getaway, like you said.
