This goes against the core design principle of golf as a form of a segregated "third place" for wealthy white men, so would only be possible in municipal courses. The Country Club and Course model is crafted by design to be a self-reinforcing aspect of highly stratified and bigoted capitalist society.
It's a good idea that should be pursued in municipal parks, in conjunction with the complete elimination of semi-private daily-fee courses.
Yea guess that's what I was getting at in the context of the original question kinda assumed we'd burned down all the private country clubs after locking the doors from the outside already.
Honestly it's something we can and should be pursuing now. We have the opportunity and the social and political will of the people to largely destroy golf. People hate golf courses and golfers rn.
