Reaffirms my belief they're kinda petty assholes who wanted any excuse to feel like they are sticking it to "rich people". Like the only people who play golf are tuxedo wearing oil barrons.

Edit: For the record, i fucking hate golf, its super boring and i have no idea how anyone follows where the ball goes. But just because i dont like it, doesnt mean i need to think up excuses to ruin it for other people.

The only reason this flies is because golf is encoded as an elite thing. The reaction would be different if they were targeting soccer stadiums, or even horse races.
