It's a sport?
I mean, you technically move your body when you're hitting the ball and then when you walk to the golf cart.

I mean... E-sports exists so I guess the word "sport" doesnt actually mean physical exercise, just competitive elements, apparently
Esports is considered an activity rather than a sport according to my states school system. What is the difference between a sport and an activity? I couldn't find their definitions lol.

Two golf courses nearby have closed down and are being rehabilitated by the National Park that claimed the land or however they got it. IIRC one of them was family-owned for four generations, but the last owner was in his mid-twenties and got in way over his head, and committed suicide on one of the greens.
Sucks about the circumstances, but otherwise I love to see it
They dont level tho, I saw some of them playing with pond in between💀
Usually those are artificial ponds
The only benefit to society I can see for golf is that it provides a reliable source of consistent standardized ammunition for my golf ball cannon.
A good walk spoiled and they won't even let you walk on a number of courses. Have to use the little electric cars.
Great places to pitch tents.
So... I actually really like golf. I think it's fun. Haven't played in over a decade, but I look back on my memories playing pretty fondly.
That said, I have zero issue recovering a lot of that lost land and water usage to put them to better use.
I'd be very interested to see a version of golf that is less ecologically destructive and less water intensive.

As someone that lives in the second flattest state and is surrounded by corn and soy field, and doesn't play golf, this doesn't affect me one bit. Bye.
Thank you for sharing
