People who play golf or engage in other outdoor activities like to maximize the amount of daylight hours after work. Instead of adjusting their work hours they have society and the government adjust the clock for everyone. Ideally the clock would be left alone but not everyone's employer is willing to allow for shifting one's work hours. Also schools aren't willing to seasonally adjust their hours so parents who want to maximize afternoon and evening daylight hours desire clock shifting.

DST was introduced in most countries during WW1 and/or WW2, to save fuel [1].
It _might_ be the case that golfers are the ones arguing to keep DST now, I havn't really noticed.

Believe golf is usually played at dawn, which always kept it out of my purview.

Completely depends. Different people have different preferences. Different locations have different weather benefits for time of day. When I played golf I played during twilight almost exclusively.
