      The U.S. Geological Survey’s most recent water use data for Utah shows the state uses about 38 million gallons of water on golf courses per day.

      PER FUCKING DAY.

        Yep, not only it’s a waste of valuable earth resources ( water in this case ), it’s a waste of land which BTW we can’t make more of

        But rich elitists use it to play that stupid elitist game, how much brains or muscles do you have to have to make the ball fall into the hole ? None

        And they say homelessness is a problem… 🤦🏻‍♂️

            UAE is cheating since they outsourced it to the Netherlands to do their sea reclaiming for them.

          Well the waste of land part doesn’t really matter much cause if we ever did need that land for other things, it’s still there. It’s not as though building a golf course makes that patch of land into an irradiated wasteland that can never be used for anything else again.

      Golf is equivalent to licking an entire countryside so nobody else can use it. The only activity in human history that used more space for less people were the Apollo moon landings.
