Golf remains because the Ring is gone. Had it not been for Frodo carrying the Ring to Mordor, Souron would have won. And then, instead of playing Golf, people would be screaming with pain!!! All around darkness, sadness. I don't think people would even want to play Golf when it is dark like hell.

On the contrary, I can imagine a miniature golf course designed along the lines of a Hieronymus Bosch painting.

My vote would be for Smeagol's grandmother. Afterall, she did taught Gollum to "suck eggs".

The Gaffer's caretaker. Because Widow Rumble is the best Hobbit name ever. She must have been a wrestler in her spare time.

I vote for Sam; because while he and Bilbo are the only two beings to voluntarily give up the One Ring, he went further, taking the Ring while knowing the risks, in order to stop it falling into the hands of Sauron. It is no wonder that the relevant chapter is called The Choices of Master Samwise.

He then resisted the call of the Ring, which was offering to make him 'Samwise the Strong', due to his 'hobbit common sense'. Sam then, after rescuing Frodo, voluntarily gave the Ring back to him. In doing all this, he ensured that the War of the Ring was won.
