I love golf. I don't play anymore, I just watch 
I never played much myself, and not in 30 years.
What really appeals to me watching it, is the beauty of the courses, and the relative calm and quiet of the game.
Not counting the crowd cheering the occasional shot, the announcers speaking in quiet tones, the breezes blowing the trees, the players calmly walking the course. It's just entirely different from most any other sporting event one can witness. It's like sitting in front a fire, but a little more interesting. Some of my best days in the lazy boy... watching the Masters. (and if I fall asleep for awhile, I didn't miss any of the plot)
