I hate golf so much that I'm writing a book which features it. It's ecocide as much as it is wholesale genocide for the benefit of sociopaths. As a big urban greenspace guy, they're uniquely infuriating.
Unfortunately I have to do the horticulture at a couple municipal ones. Today I'm pruning the shrubs in one of them and feel a thud against my shoulder. Some golfer hit a ball at full power (160 kph~) in my direction while I'm wearing high visibility gear, somehow hit me with it, and somehow missed bone. It went between my scapula and spine/neck/skull so it's just a really painful bruise. The guy spontaneously came over to apologise which was good enough for me.
Actually feeling physical pain from golf is a whole new dimension of reasons to hate golf. I could always separate myself from it and golfers, but now it's personal. Golf courses aren't just drastically increasing my chance of developing horrific illnesses. They actually made me want to fight a specific person representing all the reasons I hate golf.
If I was a Menshevik hater of golf before, now I am become Bolshevik the destroyer of golf. I fucking hate golf with three asterisks.
I assumed you already hated golf basically the maximal amount short of resorting to stochastic terror attacks because of how much of a greenspace guy you are. I apologize for underestimating the level of fury you are capable of while remaining coherent.
I'm glad the injury doesn't seem to be too bad.
It's the luckiest injury I've had in a while. Any worse of a shot and it'd be some kind of debilitating fracture that doesn't even seem to be legally assault.
I thought I understood my hate too. My plan for landscaping was ripping out all of the grass and installing a guillotine in the middle of their hellscape until they flee. Now the hate is focus.
