I didn’t say you can’t get rid of golf courses but suggesting we should replace them with utility grade power is idiotic… we are on an energy topic here, not are there better uses for golf course spaces? I am also not saying there are golf courses that were built in bad places… You’re making up arguments/conflicts that I didn’t propose.

I merely said all 3 can coexist and the logic to attack someone else's past time can easily be done. My community just voted for more soccer fields when I drive by the existing fields they are barely used outside of a couple hours for practice, occasional adult night leagues and weekends.

The other hilarious part, golf courses were shutting down and being sold all over the world until the pandemic. The pandemic unleashed an explosion of new golfers because it’s a sport that can be played safely with social distancing.

But ah yes let’s get rid of the golf courses, hockey rinks, soccer fields, tracks, football fields, rugby fields. We can build massive apartment buildings and solar farms instead. For some reason joy and sports that you find acceptable are the only ones humans can participate in because of your math equation! Lovely.
