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.
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.
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.
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
naahh, they’re wrong. Tipsy mini golf is the shit, especially if there’s a theme (darkroom/pirates/whatever)
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.
Golf = The game of the bourgeoisie. Mini Golf = The game of the proletariat.
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
Misses the golf cart though
Usually has ice cream instead, which is objectively better.
A small price to pay for the eradication of golf
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
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”)
Damn communists stop me from watering my golf course near Phoenix
Just get a better job, if you can’t afford water!
