Dear teachers

What is the meaning about "He doesn't care about playing golf?". That means he doesn't want to play golf? Or too good at playing golf?

Thanks

It means he doesn't much like playing golf, and it's fine with him if he does not.

You can also say, "He doesn't care for golf," meaning he doesn't like it very much.
