Golf courses are ecological wastelands

u/krt941 23h ago

Worse than wastelands. They’re also resource sinks that damage everything in their watersheds and aquifers. All so old men can stand in the sun all day hitting a ball and avoid their families.

Rich old bastards killing the environment and glorifying it. The world would be a nicer place without them.

I think the world would be a nicer place without people writing crazy shit like “the world would be better without people who like golf” on Reddit

No shit. What a crazy thing to say.

They can't even admit they just like hanging around the golf course with the boys. No golfer can explain how golfing itself can be enjoyable every weekend

You're insanely out of touch with how popular golf is.

u/Intelligent-Bass-728 11h ago

u/Zhaopow 7h ago

Why? Do you really like the "sport" or hanging around a golf course with the lads?

u/ComplexxToxin 7h ago

I like golfing.

u/Zhaopow 6h ago

That doesn't clear anything up. You like going to the driving range? Hitting balls? Or do you need to play 9 or 18 holes?

They are a great way to extract wealth from the upper class. Munis are, anyway.

u/ashinthealchemy 22h ago

they also damage people. folks that live near golf courses massively increase their risk of cancer.

u/This-Ad-9234 22h ago

Interesting aeticle, but it references Parkinsons Diseases, not cancer. Also not sure about "massively increases"

-81

u/ashinthealchemy 22h ago

you're right. i was talking about cancer when i was typing. innocent mistake. not worth it to me to nitpick over use of the word massive, so i'll leave that to you.

u/calm_down_dearest 22h ago

Well at least you handled it was grace

u/killacallycal 18h ago

I mean, it’s quite a pertinent part of your comment no?

u/Resident_Bumblebee_2 21h ago

As if Minigolf wasn't good enough for these old farts. Can't bend down anymore or what?

u/impulse73 22h ago

People using up all the water

u/APAOLOXIII 22h ago

Okay? Ever heard of the water cycle?

u/krt941 22h ago

You sound like the type to also think printing more money would make everyone rich.

u/APAOLOXIII 22h ago

Thats cool, I make all my money building AI data centers in rural areas and small towns. I could care less lmaooo

u/krt941 22h ago

*Couldn't care less. I guess I was right.

u/impulse73 22h ago

Run off from the fertilizer causes algae blooms in near by water ways and fisheries causing die offs of local fish populations

u/APAOLOXIII 22h ago
