Lived a few years in Aberdeen, the birthplace of golf.
over there it makes sense. That grass grows naturally, everyone has a golf court at a walking distance, fun sociable walk (about 9 to 18km of walking), carts are practically banned there. it isn’t a rich hobby.
On a nice day you can see everyone golfing, even if it is a couple kids with a couple of clubs (no need for a whole set which you still have to carry).
It’s a genuine people’s sport.
Everywhere else? where you need lots of water and land to maintain, and it’s only for rich cunts with golf carts? fuck that.
that makes a lot of sense. colonization and rich flaunting has the effect of transposing things to where they make no sense and requires destruction to make work at all. example that comes to my mind is how cheap concrete and steel construction being imposed on third world countries by its neocolonizers, places where its expensive to create and makes construction worse bc its not suitable for every environment. and the rich of third world countries picking glass metal generic skyscrapers to flaunt their wealth, constructing them in places where its horrible
On day one of my presidency I will abolish all forms of golf except mini. Don’t vote for me but pls abolish golf
Disc golf is superior
- low barrier to entry
- frequently free to play
- great use of public parks/land
- low upkeep
- way more interesting to watch
- environmentally friendly
- many discs made of recycled plastics
- not played by mostly stuck up assholes
jeez you don’t have to sell it to me harder.
dont have to share it to me harder #communist
Does that relative even play?
Communist golf is where everyone shares the same ball and has to dodge cowpats in the communal pasture as they play.
Anarchocommunist golf is where you spend the day trying to track down the golf clubs someone took from the communal tool shed without telling anyone.
And then of course the weirdest variant of all is capitalist golf, where it can only be played on scrupulously maintained private property and you have to pay like $1800 per year for access.
We don’t need healthcare as long as the rich can play golf.
only if the rich touched the grass they played on

Good
LOL and? even ignoring the racism, elitism, complete waste of land and water, it’s also the most fucking boring “game” in history
not that i dont agree, but boring games are allowed to exist. the issue is the racism, elitism, colonization of land, waste and abuse of water and resources
100%. Honestly, some of my favorite games are boring ass games.
If golf went inclusive and solar punk tomorrow, I still wouldn’t play cuz I’m really bad at it. But I also would have no more complaints.
mini golf is where its at
We need Gilf, but its Mini Golf.
Like, put some life sized Tyranosaur statues out in the middle of the fairway. Want to get on the green? Drive it 100 yards though the nostril of a giant fiberglass clown, or go around and chip through the sand traps full of spiders.
That got dark. Why not just have to smuggle the ball to the hole hiding it in your ass through a Vietnam War era POW camp.
Could be, but everyone’s opinion of what’s boring is different.
Have you ever had to watch an American Football match? Besides very little actual foot on ball action (it was more like rugby but with lots of padding, fair enough, but at least change the name so it’s not so misleading), they kept constantly stopping every 30 seconds or so to have a little meeting, and for their like… 3 or 4 referees to have a chat and move some flagpoles around.
It was SOOOOO boring! It went on for HOURS because they constantly would stop for little meetings, interrupting the flow of the action every time it started to maybe get slightly interesting.
The only saving grace was that the weather was nice, there was an easily accessible bar, and in the field behind the pitch there was a local radio controlled aircraft event, so while the players were milling about not playing - which again was so very boring and frequent - I could watch the cool remote controlled planes and stuff and have a pint.
Anyway, my point is, one person’s ultimate excitement is another person’s ultimate bore-fest.
Football should be called soccer, and football should be called gridiron.
They’re all called “football” because the players are on foot. If they were mounted it would be polo.
Every golfer should be forced to use the same equipment. P2W bullshit ass game.
Communism is when everybody shares 1 club (its a 4-iron)
So there is no downside then? Fantastic!
Oh no. Not the golf. Anything but that.
oh the horrors /s
Well what are we waiting for?
people to unite
Did you know you were related to a Communist before this?
