But sallias has a good point, not everyone will be comfortable in doing it. I saw it years ago, when we all had to go swimming. A lot of employees were very upset over it and were stressed because management was trying to force it on them. But many didnt go because they werent comfortable with it.
These work events should be an activity that is open, in other words most people will be comfortable trying. I can list off a bunch that are more open and more ideal to a large group of people - go karting, poole, helping in a homeless shelter, pet shelter, etc. Its just like food, if you order food for the office, chances are...you're going to order common stuff that you know majority will eat.
Golf is no different than rock climbing when you see that both are niche hobbies, which years ago was another one of our staff outings. There are much more people today who have never tried rock climbing than golf. And rock climbing can be very uncomfortable for someone who is out of shape.
