I don't play golf

In An Inspector Calls, the line "I don't play golf" is significant because it shows Inspector Goole's disregard for Arthur Birling's wealth and privilege, highlighting his socialist values and rejection of the class system. By stating he doesn't play golf, an exclusive sport for the wealthy in 1912, the Inspector dismisses Birling's attempt to use social connections to intimidate him, establishing the Inspector as an impartial, moral force rather than a participant in the upper-class world. This quote underscores the Inspector's dedication to justice and his role in revealing the profound social divisions that J.B. Priestley: J.B. Priestley intended to expose.
