I have never played golf. But I enjoy VR mini golf way more than I would like to admit. It's so fun and creative.

the argument is: a single game requires a minimum of 200 acres of sculpted fancy gardens, non-native plants, little help to polinators, a fuck ton of water, fertilizer and pesticides, and is protected from the general public not only with a fee but also a vetting process, often built at huge expense in an area that would be better served with affordable housing, transport and public amenities.

And it's entire purpose is to extract money from already rich people and enforce a class culture of haves and have-nots while essentially turning the land into a green desert.

There are a few pitch and putts in public parks around Vancouver. I can get behind those because they are only 11 dollars to play and 5 bucks to rent 3 clubs. It isn't prohibitively expensive and expands the green space for wild animals that use the greens during night time like bats.

But yes to taking down large exclusive courses that should have parklands with high density public housing built in it.

Mini golf is the shit, you ought to get out to a real one with a friend or two some time. Guaranteed you'll enjoy yourself

My friends said mini golf is for children and laugh when I asked to try it out. I'm 30yo tho, so yeah they might be right about that.

naahh, they're wrong. Tipsy mini golf is the shit, especially if there's a theme (darkroom/pirates/whatever)

For real, get high and go to a glow in the dark mini golf course. There's one in every failing mall in the USA.

You need a better friend! I'm 28 and still go mini golfing on every now and then. Let your inner child free, life's too short to worry about the acceptable age range of mini golf
