I feel like when non-golfers hear "golf course", they are always picturing the hyper-exclusive, PGA level courses that are the domain of rich douchebags, and assuming that all courses are like that. In reality, there's way more cheap 9 hole courses where you can play half a round for $20.
I picture a bunch of grass that’s not doing anything useful. If golf changed the rules to mandate native plants for courses, naturally maintained (eg, no lawnmowers or sprinklers) I’d be slightly less than 100% opposed to its continued existence but that seems unlikely.
I'm no golfer, but many have come into these sorts of threads and saying course are making them more nature friendly. But no my friend, that grass requires intensive care, can't be anything approaching natural.
100%
That grass is not native to the environment, maybe not to any environment, and it’s maintained by the use of clean drinkable water and enough herbicides and pesticides to commit a war crime.
Still more expensive than if it were a public park and free for anyone to enjoy.
not around here. our dogpatch $20 course went to $50 then closed. now it's a, i don't know, i'd say dog park but we're not supposed to talk about those.
Wait, why aren't we supposed to talk about dog parks?
...so it's only half of 150 wasted acres of arable land?
