Can we make golf less bad? Like, public courses, make it so that the grass isn't some perfect standard import grass. Make it local even if it's "less than ideal" for the game. Desert courses with no grass. I dunno
So, disc golf?
What about disc golf, but with balls? Ball golf?
Ball Golf? That's something you usually have to pay extra for.
Came here for that
"good" courses exist. They are just quite rare
In my area there are at least 2 courses that have very reasonable member fees (not more than other sports clubs) where things like golf clubs and balls renting is included if you need them. Plus all kinds of free weekends
They are also not targeted to rich snobs. So you can actually meet people there without being looked down upon
As for the course itself: they are located in area that are not really suitable for things like apartment development etc. And they take care of the more wild parts of nature (making sure that some area are completely off limits during nesting season due example)
Does it have an impact compared to it not being there? Sure. But they do a lot for the surrounding, and it gets people into nature that otherwise probably wouldn't
All the courses in the middle of cities or climates that don't naturally support a course can go fuck themselves, though
My hometown has a public mini golf course. It scales really well, and it coexists with a forest.

Dammit, don't make me support communism now.
Is there another way to get rid of golf?

Fuck, don't threaten me with a good time.
So we could win twice?
For this reason alone...
I'd be okay with that. Golf courses offend me. So much land wasted that could be put to better uses...like landfills, or cemeteries for the indigent, or nuclear waste storage. (Or housing, or growing food.)
They recently closed a course near me and now they've stripped out all the trees and are building a 300 acre development of McMansions. The course was also a home to deer and wild turkey, several stands of nice old hardwoods, some ponds with ducks and geese. Be careful what you wish for.
Promise?
Sure would be a lot of water and land reclaimed for the public.
Based honestly
If we allow the republicans to win, climate change will be so out of control the game of golf will be played in sand dunes.
Watch Republicans wage water wars in order to keep watering their lawns.

It's hammer time then.
Yes.
I was hoping American football but I'll take this. Seems like a fair trade.
Viva la Revolution!!
Don't tempt me.
Is it possible that is just conservative shitposting? Even our most of our extreme lefties understand irony and have a bit of self-awareness making inside jokes similar to this. We've also seen conservatives "eat the onion" enough on joke memes. We should consider that we may be on the other end the joke on this one not thinking they're serious with this meme.
A lot of people are really, really fucking naive how stupid the bulk of the population is. And how there is always a segment even less cognitive.
And I get it, you don't want to believe how bad it is. The brain protects you from cognitive hazards. When I realized it well into adulthood I wept, I despaired because I finally understood just how bad it really is. I can't describe it, you have to go on this journey yourself, and I feel bad for you if you find it, because it's one of the blackest pills to swallow.

We're speed running into a time where Facebook memes are just incoherent noise.
