No sympathy for idiots that have houses on golf courses.
Don’t buy a house on a golf course then expect to be free of broken windows.
And listen to the builder when they tell you NOT to select the cheapest windows and screens for windows facing the course.
why have common sense when you can hire a lawyer to sue the golf course?
Just abolish golf entirely, multiple problems would be solved at once
I recall a story where there was a water restriction on a town for everyone, except for the golf courses. The next day, the golfers found that the Holes had been filled with cement, supposedly poured in there by activists.
my local subreddit once had a golf war thread. the golfers were adamant about how accessible their sport was and how amazing for the environment it was.
“amazing for the environment”
do you know their arguement for this i would like to know
Probably because fields of grass are better than housing development? Which for the environment, is technically true
oh basically just that it’s curated green space and that’s better because it’s not a parking lot or strip mall or etc.
That’s almost worth comparing, if the resources and human effort needed to maintain a golf course, plus any other positive or negative environmental impacts, are favorable to the effects of a parking lot or whatever. But I imagine that, either way, a proper public park would be way better.
Is this someone who doesn’t understand what happens on a golf course?
Yeah… this is easily countered with “don’t buy a house on a golf course”.
This is the exact kind of person who buys a house near an airport because it was cheap, then complains endlessly to restrict airport operations because of the noise.
We used to have a small, locally owned amusement park.
This exact thing happened. The little bungalow homes in the neighborhood around it became trendy. People moved in, complained about the noise from the park’s main attraction, a classic wooden rollercoaster that had been an area landmark for DECADES, and badgered the city council about it until they limited the place’s operating hours and it went out of business.
I still get absolutely livid if I talk about it for too long.
EDIT: Not the City Council, as it turns out, but the organization that runs the local fairgrounds, which the park leased land from.
What the fuck‽
People are dicks sometimes.
Oakwood?
Tulsa. Bell’s Amusement Park.
Ah nvm
As the real estate agent said, Location Location Location, and we’re right next to the airport! It will be very convenient if we have to fly one day.

There’s a lot of shitting on this person but has anyone considered that maybe the golf course came LATER?
Yeah, or why the course doesn’t install nets
It’s a shitpost. I say: shit away!
Isn’t that an Enya song?
Yes, I believe she wrote it for a fiber supplement commercial or yogurt or something.
sure, but it’s on the homeowner to move then.
sometimes life is unlucky.
I used to do utility locates around a couple of golf courses that were surrounded by homes. The homes and the golf course were made at more or less the same time. For the most part they were set up so that balls were not flying toward houses.
I once had to mark some lines that were ON the golf course, and a couple of idiots were saying they would hit a ball at me since I was marking the grass. I told them the first time a ball flies near me I’m coming back with a dirt bike.
So why is a course lined with people’s homes?
Old people who don’t go to parks because there are children and brown people there like to see grass and trees too.
Maybe people are just playing golf on city streets now 🤷♂️
The kind sign we put up when we fail to consider possible consequences of our decisions and blame others for our failure.
That’s rough
We can only hope that the situation remains in the green.
That is not a fairway to think about it.
This comment chain is a real hole in one.
Some of the comments make more sand trap than others.
Why are you trying to drive a wedge between… these… putters? (Clearly I’m not a golfer)
Dont build your house on a golf course idiot.
Free golf balls!
