Typically, "golf" symbolises a sense of luxury, due to how it was a common sport among the bougarsies. As the Inspector does not play "golf", perhaps he may be attempting to dismantle the oppressive upperclass ideologoies by representing himself as part of the proletaria society, due to his sense of inclusion among the lower class. Alternatively, the short abrupt phrase of "I dont play gold" utilises an imperative to demonstrate how the Inspector holds a superior power dynamic over Mr Birling as he contrains against the manipulating nature of Mr Birling, who attempts to somehow intimidate the inspector. Perhaps, Priestely is trying to underline the ignorance of the bougarise, due to how Mr Birling attempts to change the subject to alleviate himself from all responsiblities. As the inspector immediately dismantles this, there is a sense that he acts as a divine being to withstand Mr Birling and almost force him to focus on his true responsibilties that he holds over the death Eva Smith, who is a microcosm for the etnernal suffering of the Lower class in society. Particularly, this demonstrates the Christian duties of avoiding the extragances of life to instead force the upper class in society to understand the true importance of an equal, socialist society.
