Golf = The game of the bourgeoisie. Mini Golf = The game of the proletariat.
Golf isn’t the problem, it’s golf courses
If you took any random forest or mountain and put a cup at one end then just said go things would be fine
(I know foot traffic is bad, it’s better than bulldozing the whole thing)
You’ve basically just described golf’s superior cousin: disc golf
I was being traditionalist to golf
Mini-golf is also… just so much more entertaining and fun.
Well yeah because you don’t have to wear the stupid pants and shoes, you can but you don’t have to
Misses the golf cart though
Usually has ice cream instead, which is objectively better.
Disc golf - the game of the revolutionary
False! Mini golf is the game of the savant and the cultural elite 🧐
Edit doubly so if it’s at night and there are glowing things involved
I like the driving range and I like mini golf but it’s the middle game I can’t be bothered with playing.
So I nail 120 balls at the driving range then play a round of mini golf.
Damn communists stop me from watering my golf course near Phoenix
Just get a better job, if you can’t afford water!
I see this as an absolute win
Golf courses are a waste of space and water, so good riddance.
Only because they don’t have enough wildflowers and trees which would make for a much more challenging course.
Maybe some windmills and a big dinosaur too
Challenge? Are you aware of what kind of sport golf is? The ball’s not even moving when you have to hit it ffs. (I do enjoy the act of golfing, but holy cow is it a pathetic “sport”)
It’s the only “sport” I know of where “top-tier athletes” can get viciously drunk while actively playing in tournaments and still do alright.
Thanks, John Daly, for proving what a farce golf truly is.

If they wanted to make it a sport, it would be full contact, everybody would go at the same time, and your time would be the scoring metric. Full football (American) gear, played in the summer. Now that I’d pay to watch.
Dens of badgers would help too.
Sounds like frisby golf
I unironically want to abolish golf. At least in the form it currently exists
I have never played golf. But I enjoy VR mini golf way more than I would like to admit. It’s so fun and creative.
the argument is: a single game requires a minimum of 200 acres of sculpted fancy gardens, non-native plants, little help to polinators, a fuck ton of water, fertilizer and pesticides, and is protected from the general public not only with a fee but also a vetting process, often built at huge expense in an area that would be better served with affordable housing, transport and public amenities.
And it’s entire purpose is to extract money from already rich people and enforce a class culture of haves and have-nots while essentially turning the land into a green desert.
There are a few pitch and putts in public parks around Vancouver. I can get behind those because they are only 11 dollars to play and 5 bucks to rent 3 clubs. It isn’t prohibitively expensive and expands the green space for wild animals that use the greens during night time like bats.
But yes to taking down large exclusive courses that should have parklands with high density public housing built in it.
Mini golf is the shit, you ought to get out to a real one with a friend or two some time. Guaranteed you’ll enjoy yourself
My friends said mini golf is for children and laugh when I asked to try it out. I’m 30yo tho, so yeah they might be right about that.
naahh, they’re wrong. Tipsy mini golf is the shit, especially if there’s a theme (darkroom/pirates/whatever)
For real, get high and go to a glow in the dark mini golf course. There’s one in every failing mall in the USA.
You need a better friend! I’m 28 and still go mini golfing on every now and then. Let your inner child free, life’s too short to worry about the acceptable age range of mini golf
Marx couldn’t made up a better argument to root for communism

Wtf I love communism now
“You know why they call it golf? Because the word shit was already taken.”
They allowed capitalists to win and they bought golf.

That’s the capitalists:
The tragic paradox is that for the most part the people who care about sport do not own it and the people who own it do not seem to care for it at all. It is of no consequence to Saudi Arabia whether or not you like golf. Eventually, it will find the thing you do like and your views will not be of interest to them. No, they will not be taking questions. No, you will not be kept up to date on progress. As ever, you will find out what’s happening whenever it decides you need to know.
And if you think “I don’t care about golf, no loss” they already have bought all kinds of other tournaments including e-sport.
One of my favorite indie games was bought out by Gearbox, the corporation that’s behind the Borderlands movie
I think this will negatively affect the game I like, but I’m happy the developers got serious money. I’ll find a new indie game, and hope that the next generation of indie devs gets serious bank by selling their game next.
Gearbox is also the developer of the borderlands games. Doesn’t seem impossible they’ll just let the studio do its thing, and inany case they’re far from unrelated to game dev.
Though I’d also be concerned any time something I like is bought by another company.
Yeah, I just thought it’d be funny to imply that’s what they’re known for, like “Barack Obama, Husband of Michelle Obama”
Don’t threaten me with a good time
i wouldn’t mind that :3
les goo
Nice riddance
Excellent disposal.
