To find the percentage of people who like playing golf, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of people who like golf}}{\text{Total number of people polled}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the number of people who like playing golf is 264, and the total number of people polled is 300. Plugging in these numbers:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{264}{300} \right) \times 100
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Percentage} = 0.88 \times 100 = 88\%
\]
Thus, 88% of the people polled like playing golf.
