Even it’s modern inclusion was questionable. There are some who would say that the only reason it resurfaced is due to a sum of money changed hands. My question is why is this a problem? So what, they bribed the volunteer committee to secure golf in the Olympics, better that than bribing people on important international votes, though that's probably happening too.
