    I’ve never understood why golf couldn’t have different terrain (in the way that tennis does). Wouldn’t it make golf more interesting if you had to play on a clay course? I feel like this would make sense in places like Arizona. Adapt the sport to the environment.

      While I agree wholeheartedly, it has one fundamental problem: dirt. If there’s one thing that golf courses aren’t, it’s dirty. The sport has a lot of class and image tied up in it, and I highly doubt that you’ll get many of those folks out into the clay like that. You’d be creating a whole new extreme form of golf, instead.

        Good, if a bunch of prissy pissant profligates get fucked over all the better. If ya want to play golf go somewhere where the environment can actually support the original course type, if I want to camp in the woods I don’t try to terra form the local regional park into a forest I go to the mountains where there are more than 2 trees per square yard.
