Good. Fuck golf.

(Mini golf excluded)

How is your feeling towards disc golf? It still required a large amount of area, but the grass doesn't have to be perfectly cut, and the sport allows a lot more trees and plants - in fact it requires a lot more vegetation to make an interesting course.

I've seen a disc golf course be integrated into a local park, without any damage to nature. If only more sports could be this eco-friendly.

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

My local course is on the foot of a mountain, with the course utilizing the trees and natural open areas to make nice lines as well as some mountain sides and hills. Very few trees were chopped in the process, and it's not really an area suitable for housing or industries. However, I know that disc golf has quite a different course style at more professional levels. A lot of the courses on pro tours are basically golf courses integrated with disc golf, which doesn't really help with killing off ball-and-club golf.

Also they're usually open to the public, non-exclusive, etc.

Fuck golf. George Carlin was right. And that's just the beginning.

Oh no! What will men in loveless marriages do?

Under communism you need to catch fish for everyone though!!

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Nah man if you're doing catch and release you gotta put a pointy hook through their lips then reverse drown them for a minute or two. Fishing's out. Loveless marriage men need to play chess in the park.

My local golf course regularly floods and is unusable by anything other than ducks for months at a time.

So capitalism isn't exactly doing the game any favours either.

I mean if communism is what it'll take to get rid of golf I figure the ends justify the means.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago

For this reason alone...

Golf is a game rich men play when they are bored playing games with our lives.

Turn every golf course into income based housing.

Dig up every cemetery and turn them into housing.

Quit wasting earth on rich people.

There’s way more of us than them. wtf are we doing

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I don't play golf but I know people that do and I can assure you none of them are even remotely rich (although most are white men)

The problems we have with housing shortages and climate change won't be solved even if you get rid of every golf course in America.

Living in a city without enough housing and seeing golf courses that are unused most of the hours of the day taking up huge swaths of land in the middle of my city feels like a “fuck you” to the poors.

Golf space should be used for forests. Cities need green spaces.

Multifamily housing should be built in existing housing areas

Then what's your issue with cemeteries? Last I checked you didn't need to be Bill Gates to be in one

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dead people claiming land is weird and gross. Burn em up and move on.

[–] Nosavingthrow@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd prefer that I was blown up with dynamite, tbh.

Viva la Revolution!!

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Only if we put commie blocks on all the golf courses.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

unironically that image goes hard as fuck lol

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

If we allow golf to win, the game of life will be lost forever

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

If Communism wins the Tournament of Political and Economic Philosophies, we just have to play closest ball pairs.
