I've been an avid golfer for 20 years, and I have never seen anything remotely like this on a course. These were bad people, who also happened to play golf, don't judge an entire community on a few bad apples.

You'd think. But it seems to be stressful on many players, who keep trying to improve their game. And given that golf is often used as a business networking tool, and I think quite a few people are not there for the love of the game.
If it's true that some golfers also torment animals and other people on the course, then perhaps the character of golf and some of its players should be rethought. But I guess that's to be expected from a sport that requires huge tracts of land to be converted to lawns.

Millerlite said:As far as a sport taking up a whole plot of land to give evil golfers a place to play is a wrong fact. If you look at golf courses a lot of them were built on unused land lots, I've played on some that were built on landfills and now provide areas where animals actually live and habitats where they can live and not be in a high traffic area. Golf courses add water features and a lot of the times try not to take to much from where they are building it. Lots of wildlife on golf courses, and it's not ruining areas for animals but probably helping them more then hurting.
Ps: I still golf a one of the courses that use to be a trash site for the city for a long time, it eventually was a huge mound of trash and couldn't add anymore to it, they ended up making 27 whole course on it and its not rare to see deer, turtles, rabbits, birds of all kinds on that course now a days .

abclements said:I don't see why golf courses wouldn't be "wild life friendly" I know lots of people (myself included) that love seeing wildlife on the course! Typically there are wooded areas surrounding the open golf course and on the course I play, it is not uncommon to see a couple deer, all kinds of birds (including some owls if I'm playing twilight golf), and the little forest creatures (chipmunks, squirrels...) and I can't say I've seen anybody aiming for them either...
