Summary

This quote humorously highlights the changing nature of golf over time. Initially, golf was seen as an exclusive sport accessible only to wealthy individuals who were often portrayed as overweight Protestants. However, this perception has shifted, and now the sport is open to a wider range of people, as indicated by the playful mention of "anybody" who owns "hideous clothing." This lighthearted remark suggests that golf has become more inclusive, seen as a pastime where clothing choices may be less important than the enjoyment of the game.
