For me it's anything involving cars or horses, also american football, and sumo, how about anything in general that intentionally harms the players health just by playing?

Golf is one of those things like hunting/guns or boating, where your perception is highly colored by where you grew up. I grew up in a place where all of those things were very accessible to ordinary working people (municipal courses in wet climate, lots of places to put a boat in, lots of state hunting land and a strong cabin culture), within reason, so it took me a bit understood the attacks on "beautiful boaters" and such.
I honestly think hunting is more morally justifiable than golf is, as long as it's controlled. I live in an area where nearly all the deer's natural predators have been driven to extinction so the only thing left keeping their population from overrunning the ecosystem is people.
We intentionally drive those predators to extinction though, partially so there are more deer to shoot
Well also because they'll tear you in half if you walk between them and their favorite trashcan
