Yeah I think I'm pretty middle class and I golf occasionally. Finding cheap clubs is easy because rich morons buy new full-priced sets like every year. Drinking and golfing is a good time in the summer/fall.

I've got a pen and I've got a phone and I've got two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious presidency, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Golf is a boring, wasteful, and terrible pastime. Miniature golf, on the other hand, is amazing, and more places should have it and let you drink and smoke on the course.

Even though golf is perfectly accessible to people other than the super-rich, it's still got a higher barrier of entry than almost every other sport besides, like, horseback polo. There's more required and expensive equipment, it's played on a giant course of manicured grass. Yeah, you can rent all that, but still. A big group of people can play soccer with just the ball and an open space, add in hoops and you've got what you need for basketball. Grid football requires grass unless you're playing a touch/flag version, but even touch football is closer to the actual sport than, say, hitting a single golfball with a single club in your backyard. Sports which require specific playing spaces and equipment, like tennis for another example, have an upper-class association, even as they become more accessible. largely because of their history. 50 years ago, you basically did have to be in a country club to play these things.

I'd probably have a higher opinion of golf if it were just miniature golf on a large scale, but realistically courses would be even more extravagantly expensive to maintain if the entire fairway of hole 3 was under the shadow of a colossal windmill whose arms block poorly-timed drives.

There are par 3 courses, too, that are a bit smaller and only require like 3-4 clubs. BRIDGING THE GAP.

Strictly speaking you really probably only need 4-5 clubs no matter where you are. Get a driver, long iron/hybrid club, chipping iron, putter and maybe a more mid iron and you can play no prob.

Yeah, I'd rather play putt-putt any day and nothing I say really invalidates Carlin's take on the pastime. It's just trying to explain more people can relate to a golfer than just businessmen, pros, and power-players

I'm not disputing the fall of the Roman Republic as an inspiration, but a prequel story that actually followed something similar to the fall of the Roman Republic could have been good. At least it would have made sense and not been about some kind of intergalactic trade dispute. Now, have a cartoonist whose art is as physically painful to look at as watching as love scenes between Anakin and Padme.

Careful now, you're treading close to a pretty bootstraps parable: quote:One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Struggling not to starve or lose your house because you got sick once without insurance is just a stepping stone, you need to climb your way up in life and be happy with what you've got. Just keep plugging away at that 60 hours a week and don't question it. Loving Life Partner posted:Bors is on loving fire, holy poo poo  Pretty much flawless.
