So... I actually really like golf. I think it's fun. Haven't played in over a decade, but I look back on my memories playing pretty fondly.

That said, I have zero issue recovering a lot of that lost land and water usage to put them to better use.

I'd be very interested to see a version of golf that is less ecologically destructive and less water intensive.

Frisbee golf is where it's at

It sucks because it's such a big sport here in Scotland, it's strange that people use the defense other things are worse to make it seem like it's not a problem. It's mainly stupid since there are plenty of other spots that have the similar qualities, without the masses of land lost and wasted water.

I also think it's funny just how much it costs to go golfing, some courses here in Scotland have a membership system with like silver, gold and platinum.

It feels like a very elitist way to price a sport, and no I would rather not spend a months wage per year to hit a ball down a field for a year, mini golf is much cheaper, more enjoyable and environment friendly, and I'll be just as shit as I would be at golf.

Scotland is one of the few places where golf can actually be somewhat environmentally ok. Like, grass actually grows there without you having to do crazy stuff to it.

IMO, rectangle sports are the most boring sports in existence. It's literally a rectangle and always a rectangle every time... And everyone stands around watching the exact same shit happening inside the perfectly constructed rectangle. It's the same thing, over and over. Not only that but millions of people say they love sports, but they don't even play, just stare at a glowy rectangle and watch people in a rectangle run around. You can't define a more boring sport than that. At the very bare minimum, to spice things up, how about introducing some goddamn obstacles randomly placed in the rectangle. Add some actual dynamic scenarios that keep the players on their toes and trying to come up with new strategies.

Motocross and enduro racing are sports and so is golf. Golf courses are all different, they unique, dynamic change depending on temperature, weather, grass length, wind, dew point, hole location.

But I do agree in general, golf courses are very big waste. Especially when placed in the middle of deserts or places that require significant resources to maintain.

I'm not a fan of watching sports myself, but you're ignoring a big part of it: The strategy behind it and its execution. But apart from that, I think most people just want to feel like a part of something and cheering on a team is an easy way to do that.

The problem is its not worth the fight. Its an issue that's for sure pushed by fossil fuel industry because how many people you will piss off. It's devastating but if you want action on this you need to actually ignore it for now and instead get golfers to see it themselves in other ways. Its a good game and its most peoples thing they do to fuck off from lifes bullshit. Coming at people and saying you'll take that away is something fossil fuel industry would love for people to do

I thought cricket was the most boring sport in existence.

No need to worry. As soon as real estate prices go up those golf courses will be repurposed for other needs.
