    There’s an enormous gap between private jets & yachts, and golf. Most cities have municipal golf courses that are affordable and they even rent out clubs. Golf is a relaxing sport that preserves green spaces that would otherwise be parking lots. I’ve seen a lot of hate against golf on this site already though, so I guess it’s fashionable to hate it now.

      Golf in the desert is a ridiculous luxury, even if it’s city-owned. They tell us not to flush our toilets, but dump gallons per hour into those short little greens.

      “The yachts are just a small issue, focuse on the bigger issues first!” Said the yacht owner.

      “There are so little private jets, you should focuse on bigger issues first!” Said the jet owner.

      “Green spaces” A golf course is basically a giant lawn. That space would be better as a park with actual trees and shit for everyone else that doesn’t give a shit about golf.
