My hottest take is that I think golf courses should be abolished. Not because of how wasteful it is to upkeep that much grass (it’s very wasteful), but because I’m a hater and I think golf simply sucks as a sport. I’ll be blocking and reporting anyone who disagrees. Thanks, have a good weekend.
Oh you're an old white guy who needs a hobby? Get a pair of binoculars and bird book like everyone else

@benlockwood I don't know that I'd find time.

Too busy with a pair of diabetes and a book on cake watching.

@benlockwood also the chemicals they use to maintain the green cause Parkinson’s rates to spike in people who live near them or drink water downstream of them

@benlockwood the mayor or the Sydney City Council cut the central city golf (Moore Park) in half to make the area usable for other recreational activities.

I also find being stuck with people who watch golf on TV a trial.

@Lats sounds like your mayor rules
@benlockwood @Lats Brisbane did similar, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Park,_Brisbane. It’s really nice. Unfortunately it looks like the current state gov is going to dump a huge stadium on it because we’re hosting an Olympics…

@brad @Lats The olympics are such a cool idea that is absolutely awful in practice
@benlockwood I'm with you, with the caveat that mini-golf is a lot better. It merely mini-sucks.
@scott mini golf remains entirely innocent of the trappings of its elitist cousin

What a lovely pond.

Why have I never noticed that before?

I'm going to fetch a lovely blanket for my knees.

@benlockwood

Golf courses... are one of the leading sources of water pollution. They use some ultra-nasty chemicals in those weed killers.

@benlockwood "golf simply sucks as a sport"

golf is as much a sport as driving a yacht around is a sport. i bet a good wank gives you more exercise and is ofc considerably more fun

@benlockwood I also oppose golf on general principles.

Miniature golf is okay, that’s a working person’s game.

@benlockwood

Finally someone has the guts to tell the truth around here!
