| Yeah, I'm a little better. Still sleeping a bit more than I usually do, but forcing myself back onto schedule and back to the gym next week ought to fix it. |

| Golf.
Of all the sports, is there a sport that takes up more land, water, and general resources than golf? Seems to attract as many rich berks as cricket, even more environmentally costly, and atrociously dull to boot. The only good golf has Mario in, and even that was last good on the GameCube. |

| Ah, but without golf, we wouldn't have miniature golf, which is ace. |

True - but it's the superior form of golf, and should really have eradicated its ancestor by now; mini golf should've been added to the Olympics instead. |

| Exactly what Jim says. With apologies to Smurf's employers, golf needs to change with the times and eliminate its original inferior form. |

| Golf’s fine! Right enough I was never any good at it and didn’t dedicate myself to it growing up either but it was a satisfying way to spend your time. At the very least going down the driving range with pals and smacking balls was good fun.
Plus I’m from a place that’s got three former Open courses and a handful of courses that are ranked in the world’s top one hundred. They bring a lot of tradition and a bit of prestige to this place, and do good for tourism and local employment. At least where I'm from it's this that outweighs any environmental costliness - I can’t have anything against golf.

| Micro vs. macro scale writ large (and small), this. My personal micro scale is a large swathe of the local park (the nearest swathe to me incidentally) being taken over by areas you're not allowed to walk on because you could get clonked by a golf ball. And I live in a suburban town jam-packed with elderly Tories. It doesn't need those jobs, and it doesn't need a golf course. I had my views on the sport before that, of course, but micro scale definitely influences our views a lot (too much?) on the macro!
As an aside, while the job provision argument absolutely is important in Tory Britain, more important than it should be in fact, it also makes me shudder at how our society has some of its goals aimed exactly the wrong way. (This isn't about golf, it's a general thought.) It would rather make 500 unnecessary manual jobs, than have improving AI and robotics to the point where people don't need to do those jobs and pay those people a living wage regardless. Maybe it's my chronic laziness coming to the front here, but that's always seemed mucked up. |

| Today’s local news headline was that someone was arrested after starting a fire that ripped through one of the nearby golf courses, and after hearing that I immediately thought 'fucking hell Balladeer'. |
