What else are we supposed to do? Humans are running out of creative ways to advance our destructive powers as is, think of all the negative ecological & sociological effects, the senseless overconsumption, the shitty superiority complex apparently necessary to play, etc.

I too sometimes forget they call it a sport, there must be a funny story behind that as it's obviously ironical.

Reject golf, embrace disc golf (ideally in a naturally wooded area with minimal deforestation)

I'm gonna read that as 'disemballed', which just means they lose all their golf ballls

i dont see the problem of having one course available for not-rich people to use and play the sport. are they really THAT wasteful?

It takes a ton of land and resources for something that's only sold to the elite.

If we had far less and made them community accessible and not require the lawns that golf does, it would be better.

Frizbee golf is a good example. Yes its not the same but its in a lot of public parks, doesnt destroy the landscape to build it, and the maint is low
