To the golf thing:

"Is not playing a sport also a sport?"

The basic premise of the poster's comment was:

"Is the absence of a thing, a thing in and of itself?"

That was not the premise of the poster's comment.
0 isn't nothing, and "a thing" is a much broader category than "natural numbers".

Half an apple is also a thing.
