Pickleball vs. Golf: A Dad's Perspective on Family Time and Fitness

A Crunchy Dad's Choice: Why Pickleball Beats Golf for Family Time OrganicDrewgle, a father of four from the US, recently shared his perspective on why he prefers pickleball to golf. In a short video posted on June 16th, 2025, he explains that pickleball's shorter playing time allows him to balance his active lifestyle with quality family time. "Golf takes six hours," he says, "but I can play pickleball for an hour and a half, get a workout in, and still see the boys." He adds that many people use golf as a way to escape family responsibilities or indulge in alcohol, neither of which are appealing to him. His preference for pickleball highlights a growing trend of families seeking shorter, more active, and family-friendly recreational options.
