D’ya promise?!?!
NO
Golfing Down
I’m reminded of the movie Falling Down, only that guy was accidentally slipping into fascism. Still, his righteous anger towards a golf course feels right.
Promise ;(?
COMMUNISM INTENSIFYING
Another reason to avoid communism
The federation equivalent of JC denton profile pics. What is it about JC Denton that gets all the reactionaries so horny?
Maybe they don’t get the message of the game.
Maybe the same is true of Squidward profile pics 😂
Good
Checks out. I had to run past a golf course for an event and I shouted “GOLF ISNT A REAL SPORT - GET OVER IT!” as I ran past.
Golf corses are the tumors of the cancer known as the bourgeoisie. They’re a waste of space, water, and soil resources. They’re damaging to local ecologies that we Terraform to make more like southern Scotland. The cost of participation is high before we even take into consideration that private golf courses have added cost and systemic racism built into their admissions system.
If golf dies as the lower classes awaken to the realities of the ecological terror the bourgeoisie have waged against them, fucking good. There are other activities to do that are less resource intensive. Including disc golf if you absolutely must turn a casual stroll into an act of conquest
He says like that is a bad thing
Good, golf is a ridiculously stupid waste of space and water.
Just settle for mini-golf, comrade.
I like how these giant golf courses need to have 10 gardeners per acre, while these communist/socialist-era 40 years old mini golf concrete courses can have 20 people playing per acre, withstand a tsunami, and you have way more fun.
Also actually having to fetch the ball so the environment isn’t being polluted.
Does anyone actually play golf for fun? I always thought it was an old timey version of linkedin style networking.
I worked at a bank a couple of years ago and we had a little team building outing to the local golf course. I had way more fun than I expected, and if someone invited me to join them golfing I’d certainly go again, but I’m not sure I’d go on my own
I played it once with friends in my 20s for fun, invited by them. Was more the hanging out that was fun, but I didn’t hate it. I suppose it’s also a sport you can be a bit drunk for… though I guess golf cart driving drunk might still be dangerous.
I play for fun, often by myself. I’ve never encountered a more challenging sport before, and it gives me a lot of time to be alone with my thoughts, while also getting some sunshine and exercise. It’s peaceful and cool. Okay, it’s not all that peaceful if you’re hitting a terrible game, but it can be, and it is so rewarding when you finally start playing well. It takes so much time and dedication to be a good golf player. It also takes a lot of honesty, especially with yourself.
but have you ever asked yourself if your sport, your past time, a recreation, deserves hundreds of millions of water?
“In 2019, the county reported 659 million total gallons used between its six courses. That figured jumped to 827.7 million in 2020, then sank back down again to 663 million gallons in 2021. That’s enough water to support about 10,750 Utahns.”
Nope. I live where it rains 9-12 months out of the year. There is no shortage of water here.
And the historic racism and classism doesn’t bother you either, obviously.
i sure hope you arent typing this from a phone or computer made using slave/child labor…
Goal posts go brrrr
Dude, all of history is plagued with racism and classism. We live in a more equal time now than ever before. So no, I’m not going to boycott an activity that brings me happiness because of the past. Besides, the places I go aren’t racist or classist, so it would be counterproductive to boycott businesses that are progressive just because some other businesses in the past weren’t.
obviously.
I golf casually. It’s fun when it’s about walking outside and chilling with friends or family.
The driving range is always fun!
Golf as a sport is a boring sport for chumps, rich assholes, and idiots.
It wasn’t before, but we should add that to the manifesto
Oh no! Anyway…
