It's true that watching golf is pretty boring but mostly because addressing and moving between holes (not to mention the whole rigamarole of old men fixing green dents before moving on) is in fact soul sucking but the game itself, when you dive deeper, is fascinating.
Like every other thing men like (cars, long distance shooting, drone flying) it's physics and math working in perfect harmony to create a game of inches. Put a nice soundtrack over it and skip the boring bits and you have a recipe for success.
