Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~It’s unbelievably expensive. Just imagine what better uses for that money exist.
~As a task, it’s far too difficult. The disappointment-to-reward ratio is about as bad as being a Cubs fan.
~It’s elitist, sexist, and racist. Only the rich can afford to play nice courses, and the history of golfers on diversity is horrible. Augusta still doesn’t allow women, and they only got their first black member in 1990.
~Golfers aren’t known for being great people. Ask yourself a simple question: when someone tells you that so-and-so is an avid golf player, is your first instinct, “Wow, he must be a really nice guy?”
~Golfers regularly swear, drink alcohol, and gamble.
~A golf course is a terrible waste of resources, primarily water and pesticides.
~Despite all the clear rules, everyone in golf cheats. It’s only a matter of how much.
~It tends toward obsession, often to the neglect of family responsibilities.
