dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Golf is walking around shooting the shit with your friends, being outside, drinking, and enjoying the sun. Stripped of it's social and ecological implications i get it. You're just fucking around, being outside, being with friends. You've got a skill based game with lots of doodads you can build mastery in, or you can just say fuck it and hit the ball.

I think the appeal is similar to mini-golf, just on a macro scale.

That's why disc golf is kinda a good replacement. It's a walk outside with friends, but it can be in smaller spaces, doesn't need reserved space, and can even be in places where it's lightly wooded.

I agree but because throwing a frisbee is the only athletic thing ive ever been ok at. I sucked at Ultimate significantly less than other sports. Well actually now that im remembering i had a thing when i tried baseball that i was always pretty accurate with a bat, but couldnt run fast enough to get oh base. Or do literally anything on defense.

But with golf, while i can putt ok but i cant drive the ball literally at all.

I think you've got the right idea. A lot of the people I know that are into golf just like hanging out outside with friends. Sure a few of them are well off, but I think the appeal as you age and have kids has more to do with being the 'third place'.
