Can we make golf less bad? Like, public courses, make it so that the grass isn't some perfect standard import grass. Make it local even if it's "less than ideal" for the game. Desert courses with no grass. I dunno
So, disc golf?
What about disc golf, but with balls? Ball golf?
Ball Golf? That's something you usually have to pay extra for.
Or just "ballf." Bolf?
We need more "Bolf" license plates in the gift shop.
I repeat, we are sold out of Bolf license plates.
My son is also named Borf.
Came here for that
"good" courses exist. They are just quite rare
In my area there are at least 2 courses that have very reasonable member fees (not more than other sports clubs) where things like golf clubs and balls renting is included if you need them. Plus all kinds of free weekends
They are also not targeted to rich snobs. So you can actually meet people there without being looked down upon
As for the course itself: they are located in area that are not really suitable for things like apartment development etc. And they take care of the more wild parts of nature (making sure that some area are completely off limits during nesting season due example)
Does it have an impact compared to it not being there? Sure. But they do a lot for the surrounding, and it gets people into nature that otherwise probably wouldn't
All the courses in the middle of cities or climates that don't naturally support a course can go fuck themselves, though
My hometown has a public mini golf course. It scales really well, and it coexists with a forest.
Just leave sheep out to maintain the course. Isn't that how it was originally?
