Golf = The game of the bourgeoisie. Mini Golf = The game of the proletariat.
Golf isn’t the problem, it’s golf courses
If you took any random forest or mountain and put a cup at one end then just said go things would be fine
(I know foot traffic is bad, it’s better than bulldozing the whole thing)
Mini-golf is also... just so much more entertaining and fun.
Well yeah because you don't have to wear the stupid pants and shoes, you can but you don't have to
Disc golf - the game of the revolutionary
False! Mini golf is the game of the savant and the cultural elite 🧐
Edit doubly so if it’s at night and there are glowing things involved
Damn communists stop me from watering my golf course near Phoenix
Just get a better job, if you can't afford water!
I see this as an absolute win
Golf courses are a waste of space and water, so good riddance.
Only because they don't have enough wildflowers and trees which would make for a much more challenging course.
Maybe some windmills and a big dinosaur too
Challenge? Are you aware of what kind of sport golf is? The ball's not even moving when you have to hit it ffs. (I do enjoy the act of golfing, but holy cow is it a pathetic "sport")
It’s the only “sport” I know of where “top-tier athletes” can get viciously drunk while actively playing in tournaments and still do alright.
Thanks, John Daly, for proving what a farce golf truly is.

Dens of badgers would help too.
I unironically want to abolish golf. At least in the form it currently exists
I have never played golf. But I enjoy VR mini golf way more than I would like to admit. It's so fun and creative.
the argument is: a single game requires a minimum of 200 acres of sculpted fancy gardens, non-native plants, little help to polinators, a fuck ton of water, fertilizer and pesticides, and is protected from the general public not only with a fee but also a vetting process, often built at huge expense in an area that would be better served with affordable housing, transport and public amenities.
And it's entire purpose is to extract money from already rich people and enforce a class culture of haves and have-nots while essentially turning the land into a green desert.
Mini golf is the shit, you ought to get out to a real one with a friend or two some time. Guaranteed you'll enjoy yourself
My friends said mini golf is for children and laugh when I asked to try it out. I'm 30yo tho, so yeah they might be right about that.
naahh, they're wrong. Tipsy mini golf is the shit, especially if there's a theme (darkroom/pirates/whatever)
For real, get high and go to a glow in the dark mini golf course. There's one in every failing mall in the USA.
You need a better friend! I'm 28 and still go mini golfing on every now and then. Let your inner child free, life's too short to worry about the acceptable age range of mini golf
Marx couldn't made up a better argument to root for communism
Funny, because where I live, municipal tax dollars have been repeatedly used to save a golf course that doesn’t bring in enough revenue to sustain its own existence.
conservatives love to threaten us with a good time.
Wtf I love communism now
"You know why they call it golf? Because the word shit was already taken."
They allowed capitalists to win and they bought golf.

That's the capitalists:
The tragic paradox is that for the most part the people who care about sport do not own it and the people who own it do not seem to care for it at all. It is of no consequence to Saudi Arabia whether or not you like golf. Eventually, it will find the thing you do like and your views will not be of interest to them. No, they will not be taking questions. No, you will not be kept up to date on progress. As ever, you will find out what’s happening whenever it decides you need to know.
And if you think "I don't care about golf, no loss" they already have bought all kinds of other tournaments including e-sport.
Don't threaten me with a good time
i wouldn't mind that :3
les goo
Nice riddance
Excellent disposal.
Were communism to take hold, golf's not going anywhere. Private country clubs on the other hand...
Eh, I can see the Proletariat deciding to direct the vast amounts of land destroyed for golf being used for public housing or returned to nature, rather than being a wasteful hobby for the elite
Sure, we’ll get gulags and bread queues, but at least there’ll be an upside.
Inshallah.
I know we can joke about how this is a good thing. But isn’t it much more likely that the State would own the courses?
Or just that there would be less of them and anyone could do it instead of the "elite?"
I don't follow your thoughts here.
But. The state would likely regulate them away except maybe in climates that aren't very burdened by golf courses, if that's even a thing. Communist governments don't inherently take full control of all businesses. They simply eliminate private property, which is not to be confused with personal property.
A communist golf course might look like this. You roll right up to the course. You either pull out your own clubs or borrow some from the facility. Someone maybe informs you which courses are more or less busy, helps you understand how to play and what etiquette is expected for the pleasure and safety of yourself, other active and future golfers. And then someone maintains the courses when... whenever they're maintained now probably.
