It’s actually incredibly simple: Golfers simply do not deserve civil rights

Love this!
Now if a huge group of people want to cover golf courses with cardboard and wood chips, then cover that with compost and plant seeds :)) and get rid of the golf course all together :)

I'm on Bumble for Exposure therapy with my ROCD but lately it has just been a fun way to meet some cool queer people! (I have a platonic bar date with a drag queen soon and I'm very excited)
That being said if I WAS looking seriously and let this be a PSA:
Girl/Boy I don't care how rocking your rack is and how well you can quote the office
If you golf that's an instant left swipe for me.
One of my top date ideas is in fact absolutely obliterating your local golf course.

i think that humanity should abolish golf. criminalize golf, persecute golf players, censor golf on media.

Raise Taxes on Golf
I saw a post about how much housing could be built on the 'open' space of a golf course. It got me thinking that... I don't think there's a quick way to actually get people to stop making golf courses. I don't think there's an achievable way to make 'repurpose these golf courses into something useful, like affordable housing' in the next twenty years. There aren't any ways to easily, quickly force these places to change what they are doing.
I wish there was, but most of them (over 80%) are private property:
According to the National Golf Foundation, in 2020, there were roughly 16,100 courses at 14,100 facilities in the U.S. Of that total, 75 percent are open to the public: 2,500 municipal and 7,900 daily-fee. That leaves approximately 4,025 courses labeled as private. (source)
So the ones we can actually influence are the ones that are not owned by the megarich; I'm not upset about a community pool the same way I'm upset about a multimillionaire keeping five pools active in his backyard during a drought.
But you know what we can do? Bother our representatives about raising taxes on golf courses, and closure of courses will likely follow.
You want to use up a whole lot of land that could be used for public housing or environmental restoration or wild animal rehabilitation or any number of better things? Pay out for the government to do those things elsewhere.
Currently, most privately-owned golf courses are taxed at ludicrously low rates. I was going to link sources, but there are individual articles for state after city after county, and the common thread is that golf courses are taxed at a fraction of what they should be. These private courses enjoy subsidies that functionally come out of other incomes.
So... contact your senators, reps, local government, whomever. Raise taxes on golf courses, and maybe we can actually get them to stop spreading.
Remember! If the course isn't making money (which, if the taxes are raised, many will be losing out on a lot of profit), then it might not stay a golf course. Sure, they might just raise entry prices to their members... but at least we'll be getting the taxes rightfully owed for the usage of that much land, and put it to use elsewhere.

the fact that golf is the only sport where people booes instead of cooing when an animal interrupts the game by walking on the field just proves that golf is an evil, evil sport played by even more evil people
