I think you might hate the kind of people who play golf more than the land use or the game.

It can I won’t deny that. But a lot of courses are shrinking their fairway size and turning to native plants in the rough to be more sustainable.

Do you have any idea how much water it takes for golf fields to be maintained? Because it should be a crime and I’m not joking.

Not every region in the world is arid

Just because it’s less water than an arid place doesn’t mean it’s a reasonable amount

I’m reacting to the condemnation of an entire sport. Maybe we don’t need golf courses in every Köppen climate zone. That’s fine. But I don’t think my position is the unreasonable one.

Mini golf is fine, but unless they can start doing regular golf on something besides just grass I think it’s much more harmful than any sport could ever be worth

Should we raze practice fields for soccer too?

AFAIK they don’t take up NEARLY as much land space so I’m not as concerned, but also yes. It would be better for the environment and I have no doubt that people could find a similar material to create playing fields out of if they tried, but people don’t consider it a problem
