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 3 weeks ago
why have common sense when you can hire a lawyer to sue the golf course?
Wilco@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
No sympathy for idiots that have houses on golf courses.

Depends on which was first, right?
Wilco@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Wow. This changed my point of view quick. Could you imagine building your dream house and then some rich idiot developer (like Trump) puts a golf course next door. That would suck.

There’s a lot of shitting on this person but has anyone considered that maybe the golf course came LATER?
Honytawk@feddit.nl 3 weeks ago
Yeah, or why the course doesn’t install nets
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s a shitpost. I say: shit away!

Isn’t that an Enya song?

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.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
sure, but it’s on the homeowner to move then.
sometimes life is unlucky.

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 2 weeks 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”
do you know their arguement for this i would like to know

So why is a course lined with people’s homes?
krashmo@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago
Maybe people are just playing golf on city streets now 🤷♂️
Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Money, it was huge in the nineties to build golf courses lined with houses.
Some people who bought houses loved golf, they usually got many perks at the course. Some thought it’d be cool and didn’t think of the double-sides.

The kind sign we put up when we fail to consider possible consequences of our decisions and blame others for our failure.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Fuck golf. So damn stupid.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

Dont build your house on a golf course idiot.
Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This is like buying a house next to a farm then complaining about the animals. The golf course was there when you moved in, the fuck did you expect.
JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
Sounds like an analogy for drunk driving.
EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
If you can’t put up a net to protect people’s homes, I can’t stop myself from shitting in the holes.
DrBob@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Is this someone who doesn’t understand what happens on a golf course?
etchinghillside@reddthat.com 3 weeks ago
Yeah… this is easily countered with “don’t buy a house on a golf course”.
Red_October@piefed.world 3 weeks ago
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.
BranBucket@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
