givesomefucks,

They waste an insane amount of water and there’s lots in places where water is in short supply.

So, it’s like when they say Biden is going to force everyone to become vegan when people point out how the beef industry causes global warming.

There’s a small kernal of truth at the very center:

Golf courses aren’t worth their environmental impact.

But no one in power gives enough of a shit to do anything about it. It’s being exaggerated so people get upset

Well, there’s a lot of trees on most golf courses, which attract birds. Birds have to poop too, and well gravity lead the shit down to the golf courses.

DarkThoughts,

I guess it has to do with the possible seizure of Mar-a-Lago since Trump can't pay up his legal fees. I doubt any of those conservitards ever visited a golf club though.

doc,

That's not really a possibility either. He's not suffering from lawsuits in the state of Florida. New York, where that bond is owed, doesn't have jurisdiction over Florida to affect his properties there.

Mar-A-Lago is in Florida.

The golf course that was at risk is one in New York State.

I think it might be the one that his head lawyer(Alina Habba) conned a victim of years long sexual assault by her(the victim) manager to accept a shitty deal that forces the victim into silence and to accept a fraction of what she is owed. Which, incidentally, is how she became his head lawyer.

SHIT 'ER DOWN

Disc golf is better anyway, natural terrain just improves the experience.

xantoxis,

I suspect it comes from Trump “winning” at his own golf course, and Biden mocking him for it, leading to fake outrage that the noble institution of golf is being disparaged. Conservatives are fucking stupid, just move on.

OutsizedWalrus,

It’s an easy target to generate outrage. Most courses that are closing either aren’t profitable or the owners feel are better selling for the land.

First I pretended they came for my gas range, and I said a lot of stuff because I’m addicted to outrage.

Then I pretended they came for my country club, and I said even more thanks to my throbbing outrage boner…

When they came for my driving range, there was no one left to speak for me.

Splatterphace,

Nope, no news, just straw men.
