I would tend to say yes to golf, but no to billiards, but I can't give a specific reason why.

I think Tiger has made it a sport. He works out and lifts weights like crazy, and most golfers now have to follow suit if they want to be competitive.
Normally though, I would not consider a game a sport if it does not make you sweat, or raise your heart rate over a certain threshold, or if your score is based in any part on artistic merit. Ex. darts, bowling, billiards, figure skating, platform diving, auto racing.
I do wish fans were allowed to make noise on the golf course and at the tennis court. Athletes should be able to block out the noise.
