Dammit, don't make me support communism now.
Is there another way to get rid of golf?

Climate change!

They would just build climate-controlled domes.
-
I meant it in the way that, you know, we're making the planet inhospitable to human life. That will destroy golf, finally! Worth it.
-
It will likely not make the planet inhospitable to all people, just some. In fact, a bunch of people will benefit from it, like those living in colder climates (at least for some time).
-
Even in colder climates it kind of sucks, remember that it also makes winters colder and weather more chaotic
-
Just depends on the location. In some places the climate is projected to become milder.

-
Oh well in that case let's just not worry about it!
-
Right? It will probably mostly impact poor people, so who cares!

Dammit, don’t make me support communism now.
Why not? What is so appealing about the oppressive hierarchies of capitalism? Literally destroying the planet...
I don't think communism is perfect or even deserving of much loyalty, but anti-capitalism is the only reasonable position.

Unbridled capitalism is very bad indeed, but the basics of it aren't bad. It can generate a lot of wealth through freedom. If you properly tax that wealth (top level brackets go 90-100%) then you have an enormous budget for a socialist framework that gives you anything from free healthcare to free education to free basic housing for everyone, etc.
Communism has a huge amount of issues that simply makes it impractical. You need to remove a lot of freedoms, everything requires a huge burocracy, you'll always (no exceptions in history) end up having to murder all your opponents and anyone who doesn't want to fall in line... Communism is nice on paper but in the real world there hasn't been a single example where it didn't cause untold suffering
I'll go with the former, thank you.
And again, yeah, capitalism as in the US is a shit show that needs to die in a fire, but come on, be realistic here for a second, capitalism looks shit in places like the US but if used well, it could generate heaven on earth for everyone
