For someone named touching grass you sure are completely disconnected from reality
Comment on Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.
Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 7 months agoThose numbers seem off. Everybody in my entire life I’m probably 1/2 of the people I’ve met are golfers. Every city IVs lived has been able to support multiple golf courses.

Why is everybody here behaving like a bunch of cunty redditors.
All I’ve said is I know a lot of golfers and every city I’ve lived supported multiple courses. And that some battles aren’t worth fighting. One guy called me racist.

Your anecdotal evidence says a lot more about the kind of people you surround yourself with than anything else. 60% of people in the US are still living paycheck to paycheck; many don’t have the time or the money for even the cheaper entry fees, especially when you consider having to buy/rent clubs.
Plus… why would an organization like the NGF downplay the number of golfers when their goal is literally to research and promote golfing?

Lol wtf they’re not all playing 100 year old country clubs. Every town has municipal owned courses and a pawn shop
