The detestable decadence that is golf just needs to fucking die already

I like golf, get outside spend time in nature. Basically a big park with trees and water.

Let's compare land use of car parks to solar or wind.

The elitist community of golf can fuck off though.

Let me have my beers and my hitting sticks

The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It's got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It's a very nice park. Always busy.

The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.
