I wish golf wasn’t a sport of the elite. It’s such a fun. Whacking a ball as far as you can is so satisfying and then combo that with an all day walk through a garden. We must revive golf as the every man’s sport!

    Never thought about golf like this, it always seems so boring and pretentious, hitting a little ball seems so technical

    I often see golf clubs at thrift stores and affordable courses do exist at least where I live. Maybe it's just just perception thing!

    But yeah fuck golf courses regardless. There's also indoor golf which isn't a drain on the environment and taking up useless land and actually can be fun experience for anyone cuz it can be an inclusive experience for any skill or economic class, like bowling.

    There's a somewhat rinky-dink course in my hometown that's pretty cheap but still nice. It was pretty fun to go in the evening and walk nine holes where you get a good but easy exercise with some nature to it.

    Trying to find that same experience away from my hometown has been a challenge. The sport is too damn expensive!

    I've got several municipal courses around where the green fee is $35, and a cart rental is $10. I got a random set of clubs from a buddy for $50, and you can get a decent box of balls from Costco for about $25. I think it's definitely about where you're at, but I enjoy spending an afternoon with buddies playing whackfuck (I'm absolutely terrible).
