Archery is a bit of a niche sport because it's relatively expensive to buy the equipment, and thus it's only really popular to the middle classes in a handful of countries. The South Koreans dominate global competition archery precisely because they have a highly developed middle class..
The cost of a half-decent recurve bow costs the buyer as much as a bag of golf clubs. Plus there's the issue of arrows (which break all-too-easily and can cost upwards of $20 for a single arrow), targets and shooting ranges... and the fact that it is a sport which is explicitly capable of killing people, much akin to gun shooting, except a lot more fiddly and "lower-tech"...
Archery also puts noticeably uneven strains on the body. I shot right-handed for over a year, but had to switch to left-handed archery precisely because of this - my string-pulling wrist was giving way and I had shoulder aches for days after shooting practice. I'd recommend switching hands from time to time if you're a traditional longbow archer, by the way, it's great fun if you're not too bothered about competing.
Golf has its merits in that a 50-year-old is only slightly handicapped against a 30-year-old of equal skill; stick them both on a tennis court and the 50-year-old is in serious trouble.
Tennis is a great sport to play but requires a higher level of physical fitness, plus exertion (play two hours of tennis and then compare it with two hours of golf...). Golf doesn't just involve the sport; it can involve a good conversation between strokes, because most of one's time playing golf appears to be spent walking.
But what could replace golf?

What I'd suggest instead is pétanque or one of its variants. A few square meters of gravel or beaten dirt, and you're good to go.
I like your style.
