Question

(1 point)

There are many activities that require skill, such as chess, gardening, and computer programming, and no one would consider any of these to be a sport.

Just like soccer and baseball, golf is a very competitive game even when played on a social level, and this qualification meets the definition of a sport.

Some people think that golf is a game of luck—even professional golfers have stated this—but if that were true, every lucky golfer would be a pro.

Golfing is an excellent form of exercise, with the average golfer burning over 700 calories by playing a nine-hole round of golf, and requires strength and flexibility.

Answer 1

The best revision as a rebuttal to the counterclaim is:

"Golfing is an excellent form of exercise, with the average golfer burning over 700 calories by playing a nine-hole round of golf, and requires strength and flexibility."

This statement effectively counters the argument that golf is merely a game of chance or luck by emphasizing its physical demands and health benefits, thus reinforcing the idea that golf qualifies as a sport.
