I can’t imagine the zoning bullshit that would have happened in that scenario. You can’t put a golf course anywhere on any patch of ground. That’s why there are course architects.

Not a big deal. They move the holes every week to keep the wear on the green even. There is a hand tool that cuts the hole and you drop the plug in the old one. The cup is just a plastic sleeve. It takes less than 10 minutes a hole.
Is this someone who doesn’t understand what happens on a golf course?
1965 clocking in. I want slippers and some soup.

This article reads like the Maroun family have poked the beast, who is now angry that he didn’t wet his beak.
We might have invented baseball too.
But we feel that way about curling, which we want to own, but was definitely invented in Scotland.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come decades in the 1900s look fairly well differentiated but from like 2004 on feels like a giant run on?English
52·16 days agoYour impression of those decades is influenced by styling and design.
Photos of actual people on the street show a lost less variation between the 1950s, 60s, and 70s than you might imagine. But when stylists want to cue the era they dial up tropes that are instantly recognizable. Bobby sox and poodle skirts are instantly recognizable as 1950s style, but it probably applied to only a small geographical area in a few urban areas. Similarly the greaser stereotype was not widespread. But now you’d believe that half of high schools were wearing white t-shirts and leather jackets.
I lived through the punk scene. Half the people at the shows I went to look like they were part of a varsity basketball team. We had one friend who had spiked hair and people would cross the street to avoid him. The styling now would have you believe that most young people were decked out in eyeliner and bondage pants.
Chic or Patrician if you want to be fancy about it.
