I wish there was a way to reengineer golf courses to be more, well, green, lol. Ya know, environmentally sound. It would probably require a total reworking of the sport, but that’s cool.

Promote Frisbee golf? That way you don't need to cut grasses.

The origin of the sport was a bunch of drunk scotts wacking a ball through the Highlands. So.. you know, just let the fields experience secondary succession and take the sport back to the place it began. Get lost Ricky Rich, I'm getting lost in the woods today looking for a tiny missing ball.

Somewhere on the campaign trail, Donald Trump is crying at the loss of a beautiful golf course.

Probably more sad that non-whites got their way.

It was the combination. The best thing in the entire world was removed because of people who aren't even white!
