Don’t buy a house on a golf course then expect to be free of broken windows.
It should be a strict rule

And listen to the builder when they tell you NOT to select the cheapest windows and screens for windows facing the course.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 day ago
why have common sense when you can hire a lawyer to sue the golf course?

Is this someone who doesn’t understand what happens on a golf course?

Yeah… this is easily countered with “don’t buy a house on a golf course”.

This is the exact kind of person who buys a house near an airport because it was cheap, then complains endlessly to restrict airport operations because of the noise.

We used to have a small, locally owned amusement park.
This exact thing happened. The little bungalow homes in the neighborhood around it became trendy. People moved in, complained about the noise from the park’s main attraction, a classic wooden rollercoaster that had been an area landmark for DECADES, and badgered the city council about it until they limited the place’s operating hours and it went out of business.
I still get absolutely livid if I talk about it for too long.

As the real estate agent said, Location Location Location, and we’re right next to the airport! It will be very convenient if we have to fly one day.

No sympathy for idiots that have houses on golf courses.

There’s a lot of shitting on this person but has anyone considered that maybe the golf course came LATER?
Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 day ago
Yeah, or why the course doesn’t install nets

I can’t imagine the zoning bullshit that would have happened in that scenario. You can’t put a golf course anywhere on any patch of ground. That’s why there are course architects.

It’s a shitpost. I say: shit away!

Isn’t that an Enya song?

sure, but it’s on the homeowner to move then.

Just abolish golf entirely, multiple problems would be solved at once

I recall a story where there was a water restriction on a town for everyone, except for the golf courses. The next day, the golfers found that the Holes had been filled with cement, supposedly poured in there by activists.
DrBob@lemmy.ca 14 hours ago
Not a big deal. They move the holes every week to keep the wear on the green even. There is a hand tool that cuts the hole and you drop the plug in the old one. The cup is just a plastic sleeve. It takes less than 10 minutes a hole.

my local subreddit once had a golf war thread. the golfers were adamant about how accessible their sport was and how amazing for the environment it was.

“amazing for the environment”

So why is a course lined with people’s homes?
krashmo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Old people who don’t go to parks because there are children and brown people there like to see grass and trees too.
Greg@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Maybe people are just playing golf on city streets now 🤷♂️

The kind sign we put up when we fail to consider possible consequences of our decisions and blame others for our failure.

Fuck golf. So damn stupid.

I used to do utility locates around a couple of golf courses that were surrounded by homes. The homes and the golf course were made at more or less the same time. For the most part they were set up so that balls were not flying toward houses.
I once had to mark some lines that were ON the golf course, and a couple of idiots were saying they would hit a ball at me since I was marking the grass. I told them the first time a ball flies near me I’m coming back with a dirt bike.

Sounds like an analogy for drunk driving.
