I had always wanted to take a golf course, and replace each putting green with a course of fire. Put those golf bags to better use, and load them with a rifle, shotgun, and a pistol. You get in good practice, and get a nice walk in the park at the same time.

Yeah, I could never understand golf. You spend ages looking for a little white ball, then when you find it you hit it away again ...

The idea of golf courses does seem rather elitist these days.

Not sure I concur. I have a bunch of mates that regularly play golf, none of whom would I consider "elite". Unless farmers, concretors, bookkeepers and plumbers are the elite.... the way plumbers charge perhaps you are right.

Sure, I understand. I'm more about the locking away of vast areas of green space for the use of just a few.

they need to plant out some native stands in nice little groves or make some 'green rooms' for recreational purposes and encourage the wildlife back in abundance as well. Nothing like an expanse of grass to make me think what else could go there

It's super weird but it reminds of a video game I used to play years ago. Myth, by Bungie. Lots of greensward.

huh. That's pulled at the memory - i spent a lot of time doing Baldurs Gate (and of course all the hours spent on Doom and the engines where you could build your own world and play your mates in a LAN)

I still do spend hours on PC 'splodeys. Then I go walk in nature to balance it out.
