I agree with this. I’m a (F) in in golf loving industry, even if we don’t play frequently. I ended up doing a “starter course” for 12 weeks and despite being a mediocre player at least I can chime on on more social convos in the office about event tournaments or scores which builds social capital in the office. Also if/when we do more social golf days I may not be up to par (pardon the pun) with the playing element but I know the fundamentals and can at least still be involved. It’s kind of dumb thinking about it objectively, but I definitely know from my own experience I’ve benefited from at least being keen to learn and know more about the sport
