Mini golf is fun.
Regular golf must be purged.

Since “the place where masculinity goes to die” wasn’t an option I didn’t vote.

That's an odd choice, because mini-golf is objectively better than the place where masculinity goes to die by every metric.

I always find those that enjoy golf to be of a certain... type.
Not people I am drawn to or particularly get on with, in other words.

I like golf, mainly the driving range though as the real things too expensive to play regularly around here...and really I just wanna hit a bunch of em one after the other as far as I can and not have to go chase them.

I used to ball golf a little. One summer I worked in Ohio and my boss liked to golf so we went a lot sometimes even on the clock.
I pretty much suck at it but the thing about ball golf is no matter how bad you suck there’s always that one shot that lands up on the green and bites and rolls back toward the hole where you feel like Tiger Woods for a minute.

That’s really cool. I like the ones situated in nature more, but it’s still cool/modern/hi tech looking.

Top golf is meant to be an entertainment thing, its not like a traditional driving range where you go to practice. The one in my area (and others) do pretty big parties at night with live bands / djs and shit. It IS a hell of a lot of fun though, but no one i know goes there to work on anything its just purely fun.
I used to think golf was meant for certain "types", but then i golfed with a bunch of blue collar rednecks and fell in love with the game. Sure the ultra exclusive country club crowd can go choke on a bag of dicks, but man the muni course rednecks are some of the best guys you can play with. On top of which i just fell in love with the challenge of the game, its just a great way to get some exercise, shut off the brain,and spend some time in nature. I havent played in about 4 years but i think about starting again quite often.

You should get back into it man, decent exercise (depending on what your doing) and good to be outdoors, and the challenge. That’s pretty wholesome good stuff. I love getting better - not compared to anyone else, but against just myself. Feels good to see yourself gradually getting better at something when it shows. It’s also much less stressful, than say, football or lacrosse. It’s chill & fun - and getting friends into it is awesome when they begin to love it too. Then you’ve got some people to play with & against while chillin and all that.

No, and I've golfed hundreds if not thousands of rounds in my life having spent easily tens of thousands of dollar doing so.
The best part of golfing is getting to drink and drive. The rest of it is the distillation of everything that is bad about sport into one single game.
I have a long stand up piece about it that usually does pretty well, so it is a joke in that sense, but I am dead serious about it.

ou should get back into it man
I quit golfing because my golfing partner decided he enjoyed drinking more than playing actual golf. Most of our rounds ended up finishing on the 11th hole towards the end, one time we didn't even finish the front side before he was asleep in the cart. Unfortunately said golfing partner died of acute liver failure due to his alcoholism just a few years later. I dont really enjoy playing by myself at all.
He was also one of my closest friends since high school and the person who really got me involved with the sport in the first place. When i was playing every day and a muni course member, i was playing at a 15-17 HCAP which i was pretty damn proud of considering I am all self taught via magazines, books, and youtube / golf channel. My other friends who play often play during the middle of the week in the morning and my work schedule doesnt allow for it. Not to mention its still hard breaking the association of the game to my friend, often when i think of walking 9 i end up thinking about him and it generally leaves me not wanting to play shortly after.
I am thinking next year though I am going to at least hit the range once a week and get back into hitting balls again. Even if i never hit the course again, smashing 300 yard drives or laying 100 yard wedge shots pin tight still feels great. Plus my local place is pretty gorgeous and cheap and has an amazing putting green to practice on.

This!
They had a tournament at one of the par three courses strictly for those types of people when I was up in Ohio.
You had to wear work boots, drink a beer a hole for 18 holes, and you only got to choose three clubs to take with you.

hahah that sounds like a whole lot of fun, except i dont drink so i couldn't play lol Even when i was "drinking" if had more than 2 beers over a round that was a heavy day. I much prefer water on the course and a beer at the end.
my local muni ran a weekly 9 hole scramble on friday at twilight. First time i played i was stupid nervous until one of the guys just stops his cart in the middle of the first fairway, hops out, unzips and starts to take a massive horse piss. No one blinked an eye and i learned not to be nervous haha
