Golf, Beer and Big Bellies

I've just started learning how to play golf.

It's quite challenging and fun. It even seems like a bit of a workout - especially when you swing a club 300+ times in an afternoon!

Two things I don't understand, maybe you can help me:
  1. Why are golfers always drinking beer or liquor? Isn't this supposed to be a sport? How many people play baseball with a beer stein in one hand?
  2. Why are so many golfers fat? I imagine they have beer bellies, but why is this? Isn't golf a man's sport? Aren't manly men supposed to have muscles? I'm shocked by how many have huge guts!
  3. If I spend lots of time playing golf, will I be sacrificing other exercises that would keep me in shape?

Just curious and a bit confounded.

What do you think?

Have a great weekend,

PS There are many golfers that are not fat, so please don't think I'm insisting that all are.

Golf can be one of those games where one day you go out have a great game and believe your on the verge of becoming a real golfer.

Then you go out on another day and realize your nothing more then a scrub and a hacker at golf. (Augh!!)

That's when a beer and or a stiff drink comes in handy.
