I mean if communism is what it'll take to get rid of golf I figure the ends justify the means.

Fuck golf. George Carlin was right. And that's just the beginning.
George Carlin died too fucking young.
Golf is a game rich men play when they are bored playing games with our lives.
Turn every golf course into income based housing.
Dig up every cemetery and turn them into housing.
Quit wasting earth on rich people.
There’s way more of us than them. wtf are we doing
I don't play golf but I know people that do and I can assure you none of them are even remotely rich (although most are white men)
The problems we have with housing shortages and climate change won't be solved even if you get rid of every golf course in America.
Living in a city without enough housing and seeing golf courses that are unused most of the hours of the day taking up huge swaths of land in the middle of my city feels like a “fuck you” to the poors.
Golf space should be used for forests. Cities need green spaces.
Multifamily housing should be built in existing housing areas
Then what's your issue with cemeteries? Last I checked you didn't need to be Bill Gates to be in one
Dead people claiming land is weird and gross. Burn em up and move on.
I'd prefer that I was blown up with dynamite, tbh.

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!
Good. Fuck golf.

How is your feeling towards disc golf? It still required a large amount of area, but the grass doesn't have to be perfectly cut, and the sport allows a lot more trees and plants - in fact it requires a lot more vegetation to make an interesting course.
I've seen a disc golf course be integrated into a local park, without any damage to nature. If only more sports could be this eco-friendly.
My local course is on the foot of a mountain, with the course utilizing the trees and natural open areas to make nice lines as well as some mountain sides and hills. Very few trees were chopped in the process, and it's not really an area suitable for housing or industries. However, I know that disc golf has quite a different course style at more professional levels. A lot of the courses on pro tours are basically golf courses integrated with disc golf, which doesn't really help with killing off ball-and-club golf.
Also they're usually open to the public, non-exclusive, etc.
My local golf course regularly floods and is unusable by anything other than ducks for months at a time.
So capitalism isn't exactly doing the game any favours either.
Only if we put commie blocks on all the golf courses.
Promise?
unironically that image goes hard as fuck lol
For this reason alone...
Fuck, don't threaten me with a good time.
If we allow golf to win, the game of life will be lost forever
Good? It's a huge waste of land and resources.
If Communism wins the Tournament of Political and Economic Philosophies, we just have to play closest ball pairs.
Viva la Revolution!!

I've got just the place for low-cost housing. I have solved this problem. I know where we can build housing for the homeless: golf courses! It's perfect! Just what we need. Plenty of good land, in nice neighborhoods, land that is currently being wasted on a meaningless, mindless activity engaged in primarily by white, well-to-do male businessmen who use the game to get together to make deals to carve this country up a little finer amongst themselves. I am getting tired, really getting tired, of these golfing cocksuckers in their green pants, and their yellow pants, and their orange pants, and their precious little hats and their cute little golf carts! It is time to reclaim the golf courses from the wealthy and turn them over to the homeless! Golfing is a arrogant, elitist game which takes up entirely too much room in this country. Too much room' in this country! It is an arrogant game on its very design alone, just the design of the game speaks of arrogance. Think of how big a golf course is - the ball is that fucking big! What do these pin-headed pricks need with all that land?! There are over seventeen thousand golf courses in America, they average over one hundred and fifty acres a piece - that's three million plus acres, four thousand, eight hundred and twenty square miles - you could build two Rhode Islands and a Delaware for the homeless on the land currently being wasted on this meaningless, mindless, arrogant, elitist, racist, there's another thing; the only blacks you'll find at country clubs are carrying trays. And a boring game. A boring game for boring people. You ever watch golf on television? It's like watching flies fuck! And a mindless game, mindless. Think of the intellect it must take, to draw pleasure from this activity: hitting a ball with a crooked stick and then, walking after it! And then, hitting it again! I say pick it up asshole, you're lucky you found the fucking thing! Put it in your pocket and go home, you're a winner! You've found it! No chance of that happening. Dork-o in the plaid knickers is going to hit it again and walk some more. Let these rich cocksuckers play miniature golf! Let them fuck with a windmill for an hour and a half or so! See if there's any real skill among these people. Now I know there are some people who play golf who don't consider themselves rich. FUCK 'EM! And shame on them for engaging in an arrogant, elitist passtime.
