Before covid I liked to get up in the morning a golf, I took pride in my family’s lawn (you think I own a house this is chapo), I experimented with different types of grass seed (clover is nice to walk on), my first job was a hay farm, I honestly like grass more than gulf. The greenness of a huge cut lawn is more beautiful than any forest, in fact they complement each other. People are stewards of the earth and you don’t go outside if you think a nice mowed lawn isn’t pretty or beautiful you have no soul. A nice lawn isnt a white thing, it’s a human right to have access to them, cities are hell for not having enough greenspace.
Golf? Ehh… I suppose there’s room for a few PUBLIC courses
When golf costs only a little more than bowling, and when there are a lack of stuck-up assholes, it’s pretty fun. It’s basically walking around in a nice park doing some low-impact activities that are compatible with getting all different kinds of fucked up (if that’s your thing).
It’s one of those sports that would lend itself incredibly well to central planning. You just put your name on the list and get a tee time. You don’t really have people hogging the course in the same way you would with basketball or baseball so you could move hundreds of people through a course in one day.
Maybe it’s because I grew up in a desert, but I can’t see a lawn without thinking “wow, that’s a waste of water”.
Clover is actually a legume, not a grass! They improve soil quality by nitrogen fixation, attract pollinators, and also happen to be edible. Clover lawns are revolutionary but grass monocultures are honestly an ecological abomination even though they can look pretty.
Fuck Monsanto. And yeah most “weeds” aside from the invasive species just mean plants that aren’t very profitable. Whoever called Asclepias “milkweed” deserves the wall.
I understand your feelings but golf courses are an insane use of resources that no one should be OK with. Think about how much water is needed to maintain one, especially in dry climates. There is a fucking golf course in Death Valley, just imagine how much water that takes every day to just maintain. Also the crazy amount of fertilizers to keep the grass green that just end up in the watershed fucking up every river and lake around it.
Yes, at least have the decency to play mini golf instead of golf
