Golfer → Golfer (disambiguation) – This is really a WP:TWODABS page with a subtopic thrown in. A "golfer" is a person who plays golf. A professional golfer is still a person who plays golf, and the distinctions between an amateur and professional golfer are described in the article, golf. The only other meaning listed on the page, a TV episode for which we have no article, is comparatively obscure. We redirect skier to skiing, basketball player to basketball and tennis player to tennis, even though each of these sports has varying degrees of amateur and professional participation. There is no reason to treat golf any differently. Move this page and redirect golfer to golf, consistently with other sports player titles. bd2412 T 14:35, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
