Golf is played by rich dickheads who got or stay rich by not giving a fuck about anything or anyone, so ...... no

Depending on the area the golf course is located in I guess. It's definitely something bank rolled by rich dickheads, but I do see a lot of blue collar folks owning or renting golf clubs in my area. Probably because it's a reasonably cheap way to spend a day during your weekend doing an activity.

Now I don't intend to defend the rich, the owners of golf courses, and the rich that bank roll them. We should be holding their feet to the flames.

Back in the day, golf was played by doctors, who did give a fuck about people. Today, not so much.
