    It seems to me that most hatred for golf comes because of capitalism and not because of golf.

    I think you’re right, and you summed up my thoughts about the first 80% of your comment better than I was going to, lol.

    I’d say the hatred for golf has a lot in common with the dislike behind the fuckcars communities. It’s not that people hate the experience of a clean hit in golf or a brisk drive down twisty country roads. It’s the resources that go into supporting them which by definition do not go into supporting more efficient/healthy/equitable choices. And yes there is probably a secondary effect tied to certain target audiences who value exclusivity and are generally the worst.
