I think in less than 2 months the world will be subjected to the spectacle of a rich and elegant old woman stepping on a political party's throat with her expensive high heels and killing it.

That's really bringing up an interesting question. Is golf the most expensive sport in terms of labor and resources? Because all of the water, land, and groundskeeping that's necessary just to maintain the ability to play has to be astronomical even compared to a sport like baseball, where you can just play on astroturf.

If we're excluding motor sports, my hunch is that equestrian sports would be more expensive. you don't have as much groundskeeping requirements but horse maintenance would have to be comparable

Fallen Hamprince posted:hockey might be more The Bell Centre in Montreal is the largest hockey arena in the world, and it only takes up a field size of 72,000 square meters. The average golf course takes up 75,000 square meters, but whereas a hockey arena is mostlly inert concrete, steel, and asphalt, a golf course has tens of thousands of square meters of turf that have to be maintained with a highly regulated amount of water constantly.

Golf is also the most expensive sport to play, hence the elite/white reputation. Which is why Tiger Woods was such a big deal. He was also an insane child prodigy who just destroyed everyone starting at, like, age two. Tennis is also up there in terms of "elite" sports. Tennis courts are relatively cheap. However (!) it's very expensive to train an athlete up to a professional level. A lot of pros are children of tennis coaches, had rich parents and/or had their tournament trips paid for with state subsidies in some countries.

the temperature hasn't gone below freezing in Tampa Bay in decades but they manage to send a hockey team pretty far into the playoffs most years anyway wonder how much chilling that arena costs in May probably less than it costs to keep all the golf courses in SoCal green during a drought
