Country clubs are suffering because while they were a status symbol for an older generation, younger people see them as an 80 year old's activity and won't pay huge money to watch grandpa drink scotch and piss his depends in the clubhouse

lolling using a industry website to prove a golf course is good when it doesn't do anything better than a public park except maybe keep out poors.

you literally just linked me a pro-golf argument from the USGA website you fool

meanwhile golf courses pave over natural biome land all the time in order to provide the animal habitat of short trim grass LOL yeah that's great for all the snakes, birds, coyotes, and such that live out here

http://blog.savesfbay.org/2013/09/citys-plan-would-pave-bay-wetlands-with-golf-course-nearly-500-houses/

first link I found searching for "golf courses pave over natural habitat"


the fact is the golf course is short trim grass, even if the owners let animals chill there it still has wrecked the natural biome. unless you live in an area that just has rolling green hills as the natural landscape I guess.

We should rise up and seize back the land taken by golf courses and build quality low income housing and plant beans and corn and let our children run outside without shoes.

I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
Golf has a set standard goal for the number of strokes that it should take to complete a hole. This This standard is called par. Totalled up on the 18 holes they refer to this as "par for the course" and matching this is called shooting even.

99.9% of people who ever play golf will never shoot even par on a regulation 18-hole course (which is a score of 72.) Not only this, a majority of golfers will never even break 100.

Whoever came up with par at the level it's at is a cruel bastard.

I like it when hidden camera shows gently caress with golfers because they always throw a tantrum and try to murder the person who is annoying them.

golf is a great way to line yourself up for some prime cocktail waitress slopfucks if you're into that sort of thing (or so I've heard)

When I play golf I do so covertly, and am really loving everything up.

I like shooting early at the old rich fucks in front of me.

Also, tearing huge divots and making big canyons in sand traps.

Finally, I like wading into water and collecting golf balls.

I'm not a pro but for getting better I recommend the hammer game

You play dollar skins with carry overs and tpresses automatically accepted if you're down then the hammer works like the backgammon doubling cube. If you hammer, the hole bet either doubles or your opponent concedes the hole bet. you get a few hammers carry overs and presses, next thing you know you're playing a single hole for like five hundred bucks
