I mean if communism is what it'll take to get rid of golf I figure the ends justify the means.

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!
If we allow golf to win, the game of life will be lost forever
If Communism wins the Tournament of Political and Economic Philosophies, we just have to play closest ball pairs.
unironically that image goes hard as fuck lol
Fuck golf. George Carlin was right. And that's just the beginning.
George Carlin died too fucking young.
Golf is a game rich men play when they are bored playing games with our lives.
Turn every golf course into income based housing.
Dig up every cemetery and turn them into housing.
Quit wasting earth on rich people.
There’s way more of us than them. wtf are we doing
I don't play golf but I know people that do and I can assure you none of them are even remotely rich (although most are white men)
The problems we have with housing shortages and climate change won't be solved even if you get rid of every golf course in America.
Improvement isn’t easy and can’t be achieved in one step. It can only be achieved one step at a time.
Living in a city without enough housing and seeing golf courses that are unused most of the hours of the day taking up huge swaths of land in the middle of my city feels like a “fuck you” to the poors.
Then what's your issue with cemeteries? Last I checked you didn't need to be Bill Gates to be in one
Dead people claiming land is weird and gross. Burn em up and move on.
I'd prefer that I was blown up with dynamite, tbh.
Punk rock
Golf space should be used for forests. Cities need green spaces.
Multifamily housing should be built in existing housing areas
Only if we put commie blocks on all the golf courses.
Good. Fuck golf.
(Mini golf excluded)
How is your feeling towards disc golf? It still required a large amount of area, but the grass doesn't have to be perfectly cut, and the sport allows a lot more trees and plants - in fact it requires a lot more vegetation to make an interesting course.
Also they're usually open to the public, non-exclusive, etc.
I've seen a disc golf course be integrated into a local park, without any damage to nature. If only more sports could be this eco-friendly.
My local course is on the foot of a mountain, with the course utilizing the trees and natural open areas to make nice lines as well as some mountain sides and hills. Very few trees were chopped in the process, and it's not really an area suitable for housing or industries. However, I know that disc golf has quite a different course style at more professional levels. A lot of the courses on pro tours are basically golf courses integrated with disc golf, which doesn't really help with killing off ball-and-club golf.
My local golf course regularly floods and is unusable by anything other than ducks for months at a time.
So capitalism isn't exactly doing the game any favours either.
Promise?
Viva la Revolution!!
For this reason alone...
