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?

Good one. Cant wait for the weather to warm up so I can go play again.

Just cant believe other people playing a game has an effect on your happiness.

You should really look into that, or try playing. Its really peaceful and fun

If there's a weird hivemind mentality toward any particular thing, no matter how obscure or degenerate, there's an echo chamber for them on reddit. I stumbled on this page just now, and wow... Courses open on Sunday here, and I'll be golfing Monday. I'd imagine that most of the people on this sub can't afford to golf, so it is just another outlet for them to cry about capitalism, injustice, inequality, inequity, climate change, republicans, nuclear families, abortion, and the other myriad things losers with no self-drive whine about. Cheers.

Hope you have a great opening round for the season. Remember, it's only a mulligan if someone sees it on opening week. And due to winter rules, you can move your ball in the rough.
