I've played Mini Golf with a wide variety of people. It's amazing fun to see fully grown adults with brightly colored putters getting angry at a windmill and forgetting absolutely all of their problems for a few hours.
So if socialism is mini-golf, bring on the fucking mini golf :)
Can I put in a good word for disc golf? Can be played in what is for the most part a completely normal park. A park with more of its natural tree and bush coverage than most parks would have, even, since the obstacles are part of the game.
My area has a disc golf site at the beginning of a hiking trail. Only a few trees were removed, and none of the ground has been flattened or dug up. It's awesome, and the fact that there are natural obstacles just add to the game.
I like how these giant golf courses need to have 10 gardeners per acre, while these communist/socialist-era 40 years old mini golf concrete courses can have 20 people playing per acre, withstand a tsunami, and you have way more fun.
Also actually having to fetch the ball so the environment isn't being polluted.
I play for fun, often by myself. I've never encountered a more challenging sport before, and it gives me a lot of time to be alone with my thoughts, while also getting some sunshine and exercise. It's peaceful and cool. Okay, it's not all that peaceful if you're hitting a terrible game, but it can be, and it is so rewarding when you finally start playing well. It takes so much time and dedication to be a good golf player. It also takes a lot of honesty, especially with yourself.
"In 2019, the county reported 659 million total gallons used between its six courses. That figured jumped to 827.7 million in 2020, then sank back down again to 663 million gallons in 2021. That's enough water to support about 10,750 Utahns."
edit: Love the downvoter who can't speak up in response....
I played it once with friends in my 20s for fun, invited by them. Was more the hanging out that was fun, but I didn't hate it. I suppose it's also a sport you can be a bit drunk for... though I guess golf cart driving drunk might still be dangerous.
I worked at a bank a couple of years ago and we had a little team building outing to the local golf course. I had way more fun than I expected, and if someone invited me to join them golfing I'd certainly go again, but I'm not sure I'd go on my own
I’m reminded of the movie Falling Down, only that guy was accidentally slipping into fascism. Still, his righteous anger towards a golf course feels right.
In all seriousness though, enjoy whatever outdoor activity you want. Just lose the rich person club and cities covered in golf courses without public parks.
