    I doubt it’s as harmful as you think. Maybe in desert areas. I don’t golf, but I know people from every economic group who love the game. Definitely not just a rich person’s sport.

      They wanted to buldoze a rare ecological area in my province to create one because it would crate about a dozen jobs and the area was “barren”.

      And yes it is a rich person’s game. How many kids from disadvantaged neighbourhoods do you hear making the PGA?

        Every youth sport costs a lot to participate in, and kids from disadvantaged neighborhoods rarely make it in any professional sport.
