Is golfing worth it just for the networking?

I’ve launched my own small biz and realizing many men connect and network on the golf course, but I not only don’t play, I find it quite boring. It’s crossed my mind to start playing again to join some alumni and business friendly events, but is it futile at this point to pick it up after not swinging a club for 20 years? Edit: To clarify too, I don’t drink.
