Should golf be banned?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

The real "trolling" is that of the golf courses, which are massive wastes of land and water.  Convert them into something useful: forests, botanical gardens, public housing, something, anything.  One aspect of Obama's presidency I find least tasteful is his constant indulgence in this elitist pastime.

Um, not all the people who play golf are wealthy. Besides, Golf courses are useful - they provide a place to play a fine sport, and are beautiful in their own right.

Leftists have this weird thing about golf.

But if you try and end govt subsidies of opera some of them freak the funk out.

Do you think it's righties that keep opera subsidized?

There is some (admittedly mild) freaking out in this thread.

Given the sort of people who attend opera, yes, yes I do.
