Certain personal attributes can be advantageous in particular sports. In basketball, height helps. For sprinting, fast twitch muscle fibers are a boon. With golf, a sizable trust fund sure doesn’t hurt. Along with squash and polo, golf has long been considered a patrician pastime. But from Paris to Portland, roving bands of revolutionaries are reclaiming this sport for the masses by taking golf quite literally to the streets. When you combine egalitarian ideals with natty fashion, a dose of whimsy, and plenty of beer, a good time is par for the course.
