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).
Yeah if golf was done right it would be pretty fun i think.
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.
Gotta love playing the front 9 with rented clubs at the municipal course for like $26
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.
Man why people got to be like "lawns are grass only"? that shit's boring. "Weeds" bring variety and health to your lawn and make it interesting to look at and be on. Grass is cool but dandelions? Moss? Clover? Give me some variety, dammit
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.
They're fine in scotland where golf originated, because that's just what the land is naturally like
same here, i love golf but everyone wants to play on those damn bourgeois parkscapes instead of natural terrain
If you live in a city, then everywhere is the natural terrain. Pull a Jerremy Hammond and get the cops called on you for playing golf downtown.
