The dictionary definition of "sport" disagrees with your assertion...
While I agree that the "golf is a game" argument is pedantic, the dictionary isn't the ultima ratio regum when it comes to the meaning of words - it's rarely even a good starting point. Definitions of words are amorphous and usually vary within contexts; it's fine to argue that golf is not a sport because the project is to attribute some meaning to the word sport and another meaning to the word game. I don't agree with the argument but the dictionary isn't really going to settle it.
