StrikerVery few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.
KrotzWell, I recently learned of the existence of Excel competitions, so I’m not sure about the ‘most boring’ part.
Some people really excel at spreadsheets.

If you don’t see the beauty in the orchestrated beauty of Excel macros and formulae, then there’s no helping you.
What about VBA? Remote data? Python?
That’s horrifying, if you have the forbidden knowledge of what people only program in excel is capable of
Flying SquidI don’t know if there still are, but back when you texted on a 12-button phone keyboard, there were texting competitions.
A good walk spoiled and they won’t even let you walk on a number of courses. Have to use the little electric cars.
The original game as invented by bored semi-drunk Scots was, I’m sure, a good laugh several hundred years ago with wee sticks and a random round thing.
The modern game and all its hideous capitalist/ classist cultural connotations is fucked.
Tell me that you’re poor without telling me that you’re poor.
Tell me you’re an asshole without telling me you’re an asshole.
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American.
Hating poor people is as American as you can get. You should fit right in.
Well, not American, but I can tell you are a Classist asshole.
Uh, what?
How dare someone be poor! Anyone who makes that choice is doing it to be offensive!
mriormroWhy does it matter if they’re poor or not?
Didn’t you know? If you’re poor, you’re supposed to be ashamed of it because it means you didn’t try hard enough to not be poor.
Sam, The ManDrag’em, squiddy
Jesus HATES poor people. It’s the American Way!
Basically what they’re really saying here is that anyone with money would agree with them and have no issues with the negative impacts of golf because it’s something that all financially well-off people enjoy. Therefore, if you have any issue with golf in any way, it must be because you don’t have the money to enjoy it, because every single person that ever lived is in love with golf, and the only reason anyone might have for not golfing is lack of funds.
Of course the nonsense needs no explanation, but that’s the angle they were going for, and why they’re rightly being ridiculed for it.
For someone who spends so much time talking about growing up in poverty, this is a surprisingly callous thing to say.
Poverty sucks. Don’t be poor.
Depression sucks. Don’t be depressed.
Does that work too?
Ofc.
You have to be joking.
tell me you’re a classist prick with more money than sense, oh no, wait, you’ve already done so.

Robin Williams did a great bit on this.

Thanks I’ll have a look.

I have it on good authority that golf was in fact invented by Bandrobas Took during the Battle of Greenfields.
🙄 modern home is just as accessible as any sport that requires gear eg hockey. Even more so. You folks just looking for enemies.
penquinIt’s a sport?
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆I mean, you technically move your body when you’re hitting the ball and then when you walk to the golf cart.
I do that when I go to the kitchen to eat something. I move my body and walk to the kitchen
By definition, that’s a sport. :D
Hey, it takes skill to scoop ice cream. That’s why you have to do it for kids. Getting ice cream from your freezer is a sport.
Is your kitchen outdoors and carpeted in lush green grass? Do you have a lawn mower come through your kitchen every two days? Do you have sprinklers that douse your kitchen lawn at 5 o’clock every morning?
It might be. You don’t know that.
Christ, this acktually again 🤦♀️
Honestly, I never thought of it as a sport. That was actually a genuine question 😂
dopesharkI mean… E-sports exists so I guess the word “sport” doesnt actually mean physical exercise, just competitive elements, apparently
Esports is considered an activity rather than a sport according to my states school system. What is the difference between a sport and an activity? I couldn’t find their definitions lol.
And we out here just lost in the mix. lol
I would say activity is a huge encapsulating word that all sports, games, clubs, etc fall under.
Sport to me is an intensive competitive activity.
I would like to also say team based, but wrestling, track, and swimming would be absent from such a definition. Similarly, if you were to say outdoors most winter sports would be excluded.
With my definition you could argue for games like Chess to be intensive and competitive. I’m unsure. I think it changes depending on the level of play. At the end of the day, the only people who really care about exact definitions are those in administration deciding what activity gets what.
I think your definition is great, wrestling is sort of team based and you still have an active opponent
ChrisLichtI like to think of golf, bowling, and esports as competitive pastimes.
mkhopperAhh, beat me to it.
We miss ya, George.

Swedneckevery golf course could be a lovely botanical garden/park or arboretum, with little paths every which way and carefully crafted scenery to make you feel like you’re inside a disney movie
Please. For the love God don’t let this lazy comment cliché migrate to here.
Most of the golf courses near me are pretty much this - densely forested areas with meticulously landscape little gardens, which happens to have some holes built in.
A lawn is not a garden.
Correct. I’m not talking about lawns.
Golf courses are lawns.
So you just didn’t read my first comment in this thread then
Please post a picture of this golf course with no lawns
Oh I get it now, your reading comprehension is just poor.
