Comment on Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.

It sucks because it’s such a big sport here in Scotland, it’s strange that people use the defense other things are worse to make it seem like it’s not a problem. It’s mainly stupid since there are plenty of other spots that have the similar qualities, without the masses of land lost and wasted water.
I also think it’s funny just how much it costs to go golfing, some courses here in Scotland have a membership system with like silver, gold and platinum.
It feels like a very elitist way to price a sport, and no I would rather not spend a months wage per year to hit a ball down a field for a year, mini golf is much cheaper, more enjoyable and environment friendly, and I’ll be just as shit as I would be at golf.

Scotland is one of the few places where golf can actually be somewhat environmentally ok. Like, grass actually grows there without you having to do crazy stuff to it.
