    The original game as invented by bored semi-drunk Scots was, I’m sure, a good laugh several hundred years ago with wee sticks and a random round thing.

    The modern game and all its hideous capitalist/ classist cultural connotations is fucked.

      I have it on good authority that golf was in fact invented by Bandrobas Took during the Battle of Greenfields.

      🙄 modern home is just as accessible as any sport that requires gear eg hockey. Even more so. You folks just looking for enemies.

      Tell me that you’re poor without telling me that you’re poor.

        Tell me you’re an asshole without telling me you’re an asshole.

        How dare someone be poor! Anyone who makes that choice is doing it to be offensive!

        Why does it matter if they’re poor or not?

          Didn’t you know? If you’re poor, you’re supposed to be ashamed of it because it means you didn’t try hard enough to not be poor.

          Basically what they’re really saying here is that anyone with money would agree with them and have no issues with the negative impacts of golf because it’s something that all financially well-off people enjoy. Therefore, if you have any issue with golf in any way, it must be because you don’t have the money to enjoy it, because every single person that ever lived is in love with golf, and the only reason anyone might have for not golfing is lack of funds.

          Of course the nonsense needs no explanation, but that’s the angle they were going for, and why they’re rightly being ridiculed for it.

        For someone who spends so much time talking about growing up in poverty, this is a surprisingly callous thing to say.

        tell me you’re a classist prick with more money than sense, oh no, wait, you’ve already done so.
