Golf is the perfect way to ruin a good walk.
And it's not difficult either.
Try cricket, where you have to hit the ball when it's moving ...

NOW I know why I hate everything about golf and the t*ssers who play it....
Lighten up a bit RCT, it was said with a sense of irony i.e. golf is alway's seen/portrayed as a 'rich mans' sport, when in fact at the average golf club (like the one I belong to) it is far from that.
Still what else can you expect from the 't*ssers' who play the sport

Tsk tsk. I think you may have misunderstood the game. Try to observe the following guidelines and you should find it all much more enjoyable:
1) Meet friends in the clubhouse at about 11.00am and indulge yourself with a large fried breakfast and a pint of Guinness.
2) Hire an electric golf buggy, thus eliminating the rather irksome requirement to walk anywhere.
3) Load said buggy up with a crate of Guinness.
4) Set off round the course, all the time looking for any opportunity to mercilessly take the piss out of your fellow players. Be warned though, they will be doing the same to you. Oh, and keep drinking.
5) Amusing behaviour, such as driving your buggy over another players ball, thus squashing it firmly into the fairway, is always encouraged.
6) Upon completion of the round, return to the clubhouse and treat yourself to a pint of Guinness and a large fried breakfast.
7) Prizegiving, to include categories such as 'most balls lost during the day' and 'most spectacular buggy crash'.
8) Call a cab and retire home, fall asleep on the sofa, and await your Sunday roast.
You get as many t***ers playing golf as you do getting involved in other sports, but the "how can you be taken seriously if you're not a member" t***ers are a little less threatening than a bunch (is that the correct collective noun) of Milwall supporters. You can drive your TVR there and not spend 4 hours worrying if some scrote is going to key it.
Good walk (6-7 miles is average)
Completely pointless sport (aren't they all)
Usually good breakfast
Pleanty of time on the way round for a wee nip
Polite service and fellow punters
In fact, a bit like cricket, it's a break from the real world, although I reckon you get more excercise during a round of golf
And contrary to popular opinion you don't have to wear plus-fours, just like you don't HAVE to wear a cravat to get into the MCC

....although unfortunately we have got quite a few of the 'older' members at our club who do favour Toad of Toad Hall outfits for the winter months.
However, all your points are most valid, it's a much maligned and misunderstood pastime.
......but then again I suppose much the same could be said of necrophilia.
