      I’ve played Mini Golf with a wide variety of people. It’s amazing fun to see fully grown adults with brightly colored putters getting angry at a windmill and forgetting absolutely all of their problems for a few hours.

      So if socialism is mini-golf, bring on the fucking mini golf :)

    It wasn’t before, but we should add that to the manifesto

    Does anyone actually play golf for fun? I always thought it was an old timey version of linkedin style networking.

      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.

      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.

      The driving range is always fun!

      Golf as a sport is a boring sport for chumps, rich assholes, and idiots.

    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

    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.
