Reply to comment by EnigoBongtoya in Overconsumption of water 'draining humanity's lifeblood,' UN chief says by No-Drawing-6975

Tired of people calling golf some rich person activity...

Maybe that is true for some countries like US, but it really annoys me when people say that, yet I'm here in Sweden paying less for golf than a gym membership. Also don't use a golf cart, and walking while playing golf is an activity that's good for you. That applies to most people who play golf here. (Also the climate can massively change how much additional water you need, if any at all)

But no, let's just shit on all the golfers.

I know this is about the water used, but lets be real, you brought it up just because you think it's only rich people doing it.

Golf courses use a small amount of water in the grand scheme of things, and it wouldn't change anything really.

Next we should cancel all other sports that use a lot of water for their grass? Like American football and football etc

It gets bright up because golf courses in the US are built in places otherwise unsuitable for grass. Like the desert.

Well yeah, and I agree with that, but that wasn't even brought up here. And since it's an international subreddit, you really have to specify that.

🤷 It was brought up elsewhere in the comments and I was simply replying to your response about the US & golf anyway.
