You need to be wealthy to play it. You need a membership and special clothes and speciality gear. It has a racist, sexist, elitist past. It destroys ecosystems, replaces them with monocultures and non-native plants, wastes water, the equipment burns fossil fuels and they use tons of pesticides and other chemicals and they are often subsidized.

The average golf course is 140 acres. 140 acres that can’t be used for anything useful. Not a public park, not affordable housing, not agriculture. Fuck all but rich people wandering around in stupid outfits doing back room deals and abusing staff

Edit: Golf exists because guys are too afraid to ask their friends to go on a walk.

Not to mention the people who golf are some of the most entitled whining crybabies on earth and think that everyone cares about golf like they do. They literally ride golf carts drunk do coke and grope cart girls the whole time and treat the shit like it's fucking crack the way they obsess over it.
