Agriculture is food. We need food. We don't really need a way for a bunch of Wall Street bailouts queens to have a social activity.
sure we need food. But the way we water it is one of the more inefficient ways possible. But it is inexpensive. They could use almost 80% less water than they do. If you are worried about water use, start there. https://ag.umass.edu/vegetable/fact-sheets/irrigation-drip#:~:text=A%20properly%20installed%20drip%20system,subsurface%2C%20near%20the%20root%20zone.
Ok good. Start your own farm and do that. Golf isn't suddenly good because some farmers suck
The vast majority of golfers are regular people. Teachers, and people who do shift work have free time during the normal workday are some. Retires from all sorts of jobs are the rest of the majority. Most golf courses aren't as fancy as you see on tv, and they don't actually cost that much to play on. Wall street bailouts would never be caught dead on the average golf course.
I don't know a single regular person who can afford to spend 9 hours on a weekend golfing. The only people I know who can afford that are people who inherited millions of dollars.
You don't need to be a millionaire or need 9 hours to play golf. I used to have a game on an evening with my dad in the week, we were not at all wealthy.
Must be an incredible amazing coincidence that literally everyone I know who plays the game inherited piles of money. And all those greens being maintained and watered and cared for cost nothing so it's super cheap to play.
Just because you know some millionaires who play golf doesn't mean that everyone who plays golf is a millionaire. You can play for a couple of hours for cheap on a local 9 hole course.
My buddy is a teacher in a poor district. He joins a golf league every year. Plays weekly at least when the weather is decent. My uncle plays weekly. Several guys on my softball team play. Not one of them has a million dollars. I play every few years or so. With no equipment meant it runs me $30 to $50 depending on where it is. Would be less if I owned clubs, or had a membership... haven't played since the pandemic, so I am sure the price has increased, but plenty of people spend more on drinks for one weekend.
Cool story bro
