I like golf.
It's super challenging, which I find fun. I like that I can slowly get better at it and watch myself progress but probably never really master it. Plus, it's a really great way to get outside and do something with some friends or even some strangers.
I hate the elitist, racist, and sexist origins of the game but, like all bad ideas they're becoming extinct. Sexism and racism have been pretty much eradicated from the sport compared to the time of it's inception.
I play on courses that are reasonably priced and open to anyone and I have plenty of options. I'm not even remotely wealthy and neither are any of the people I play with. Equipment can be expensive but it doesn't have to be.
Almost every passtime requires some space and often some level of infrastructure needs to be built and maintained. Think about swimming pools and hockey rinks, not to mention giant stadiums built for only a few professional teams to play in. Hardly anyone is mad about those things, and the list goes on.
I get hating the rich. I get hating something because it's perceived as something that only rich people do but that's not really the reality here. Sure, rich people play golf but only about a quarter of courses are private so maybe there are actually way more poors like me playing. What do you think?
They dont hate on icerinks,etc the same way because the two are not comparable in size. Not even close
Yeah, maybe those weren't the best examples. Perhaps something like Disneyland or six flags would be a more suitable comparison.
I'll hate on Disneyland and golf thank you very much. Also, for your stadiums example, many are angry about them
Of course. You're free to hate whatever you like. The point I'm trying to convey is just that golf is as worthy of a pass time as anything else regardless of how much space it takes up or the fact that some of the people who take part in it might be wealthy.
