Golf just turns our enviroment into a playground, the soil is pretty much ruined, and like Giancarlo said, it takes up way too much land. Instead, either leave it be (just stop fucking developing every bit of this world), or turn into something everyone can use, like a park, or hospital, I dunno.
But I'm glad you at least said it's a hobby. Some people call it a sport... Rofl, no it's not. Baseball is barely a sport (it's a game)... but golf? Wow, no. Do track for 1 week, and golf will be just like walking.
