Golf = The game of the bourgeoisie. Mini Golf = The game of the proletariat.

Mini-golf is also… just so much more entertaining and fun.

Golf isn’t the problem, it’s golf courses
If you took any random forest or mountain and put a cup at one end then just said go things would be fine

I like the driving range and I like mini golf but it’s the middle game I can’t be bothered with playing.
So I nail 120 balls at the driving range then play a round of mini golf.

Funny, because where I live, municipal tax dollars have been repeatedly used to save a golf course that doesn’t bring in enough revenue to sustain its own existence.

I unironically want to abolish golf. At least in the form it currently exists
- cordlesslamp ( @cordlesslamp@lemmy.today ) 5•6 months ago
I have never played golf. But I enjoy VR mini golf way more than I would like to admit. It’s so fun and creative.
- BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) 7•6 months ago
Mini golf is the shit, you ought to get out to a real one with a friend or two some time. Guaranteed you’ll enjoy yourself
- cordlesslamp ( @cordlesslamp@lemmy.today ) 3•6 months ago
My friends said mini golf is for children and laugh when I asked to try it out. I’m 30yo tho, so yeah they might be right about that.
- BarrelAgedBoredom ( @BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ) 5•6 months ago
You need a better friend! I’m 28 and still go mini golfing on every now and then. Let your inner child free, life’s too short to worry about the acceptable age range of mini golf

They allowed capitalists to win and they bought golf.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2023/jun/13/saudi-arabia-golf-pga-tour-public-investment-fund
That’s the capitalists:
The tragic paradox is that for the most part the people who care about sport do not own it and the people who own it do not seem to care for it at all. It is of no consequence to Saudi Arabia whether or not you like golf. Eventually, it will find the thing you do like and your views will not be of interest to them. No, they will not be taking questions. No, you will not be kept up to date on progress. As ever, you will find out what’s happening whenever it decides you need to know.
And if you think “I don’t care about golf, no loss” they already have bought all kinds of other tournaments including e-sport.

I know we can joke about how this is a good thing. But isn’t it much more likely that the State would own the courses?
Or just that there would be less of them and anyone could do it instead of the “elite?”
- Dippy ( @Dippy@beehaw.org ) 4•6 months ago
I don’t follow your thoughts here.
But. The state would likely regulate them away except maybe in climates that aren’t very burdened by golf courses, if that’s even a thing. Communist governments don’t inherently take full control of all businesses. They simply eliminate private property, which is not to be confused with personal property.
A communist golf course might look like this. You roll right up to the course. You either pull out your own clubs or borrow some from the facility. Someone maybe informs you which courses are more or less busy, helps you understand how to play and what etiquette is expected for the pleasure and safety of yourself, other active and future golfers. And then someone maintains the courses when… whenever they’re maintained now probably.
- Cowbee [he/him] ( @Cowbee@lemmy.ml ) 2•6 months ago
It’s more that golf courses are generally wastes of land, and unless the proletariat deemed them necessary, golf courses would be either given back to the environment or repurposed for public housing or other such socially beneficial projects.
