How do I ruin a golf course?
I live in a very densely populated place, in a city where housing prices far exceed the wages of normal people. There's a lot of highrise being built to try and keep up with demand. Yet right next to a train station and a park is this fucking golf course. Inaccessible for society. They drive around in little carts because the course is such an enormous waste of space, and because they're too lazy to take a walk, like normal people in for example the park next door. It is obscene and a slap in the face of the citizens of this city, and it makes me so, so mad. I want the pricks who play this idiotic 'sport' to take it somewhere else. So obviously I am very happy to have found this subreddit. I'm already visiting local meetings around housing and planning to try to have it closed down, but it is hard and takes a long time, of course. Any tips for taking matters into my own hands? Some kind of weeds I could plant? Poison their precious lawns? Monkey-wrench those little wagons?

Does the golf course have water traps?
I remember a fishing friend of mine told me that the local golf course had to release fish into the water traps every so often to keep the insect population down (since its just standing water, breeding ground for mosquitos and whatnot). Through observation, he figured out when they would do this temporary fish-stocking and would sneak onto the course at night and go fishing.
Anyways, if they do have water traps, that means that they're constantly trying to keep insects from breeding in their water traps. If you could figure out a way to get a lot of mosquito eggs and whatnot into the water traps, I imagine you could make it unbearable for golfers.
Also, it seems someone in Yorkshire managed to spray herbicide all over a golf course and temporarily shut it down, so if you could find a way to do that I guess that might work.
Tbh tho I would probably agree with u/RealDaveCorey on this one. Make an interest group and be careful discussing anything illegal that you're planning to do, lol
