Golf is hard and takes time to master. A majority of Millennials avoid things that are hard. Simple.

>>15987717
what do you do in a country club

>>15987717
I've even to one accidentally

Just wanted to play a round of golf. Boomers invited me to the clubhouse for drinks
Friendly people

>>15987744
eat shitty food while talking about boring subjects because you failed to cultivate a personality in luxury whilst destroying all future generations

I walked onto a country club while drunk and some retard employee left the golf cart keys out and I ended up stealing like 4 golf carts, drove one off a cliff and bailed out, drove another into a giant puddle and wrecked the motor, drove another one into a tree

fuck boomers lmao

>>15987744
Just a place to hangout and meet other rich people. Its good for networking.

>>15987787
Holy fuck this is one of the most based things I've ever read on this site

>>15987717
Golf is seriously fucked. 18 hole round can take 4-6 hours, that, fees and listening to boomers booming - aint no-one got time for that shit. Need to be srs cretin to be investing in golf courses

>>15987717
The quality of most country clubs courses are mediocre at best, not nearly worth buy-in etc. Most muni courses are pretty much comparable to country clubs. Also this isn't 1950 most rich people are new rich and don't give a shit about golf.

t.scratch golfer

there are some pretty established and consistently popular private social clubs where i live. i think of their attendees like i think of dogs smelling one another's assholes at the dogpark.

Too fucking expensive. I was looking at this one golf club that's $200/mo. thinking it was steep, upon further research I realized the average is like $500+, $1k+ if we're talking about a family membership. The fuck is that

>>15987717
Probably going to hang out at one unironically once link breaks doubles. Seems like a cool place to just day drink and find a better father figure that isn't a soi when it comes to finances.

Smoke some fat stoges and destroy dumb boomers in poker, then fuck their daughters at night. At a tiny fraction of the club fees because no one under 40 joins one.

>>15987717
because golf is gay

>>15987717
It's cheaper to go to Cracker Barrel

>>15987787
absolutely and unequivocally based

>>15987828
I go to my local country club's public open hours with a 1W, 5 iron and putter and try to run the course as fast as I can with no cart. Can get through it in an hour and a half most days and I end up with a better score than most of the boomers I talk to.

>>15987743
Country clubs are like 3% golf. There is still a load of things to enjoy, I spend all of my time at the bar or in the theater, or playing chess or cards with friends.
One thing that changed in the last ten years is that there are fewer events that members can participate in. The club started renting space to weddings and shit, which no member can join lol. Obviously this would cause some people to drop membership since half the reason I PAY is so I dont have to look at poor people.

By the by... Fuck golf-centric clubs. Second dumbest sport in the world.

>>15987915
yeah, if the course ain't crowded with drunken senile boomers ahead, might go quicker. But for millennial 'leisure activities' taste, whole setup is still too stodgy, time-consuming and (boomer) male orientated. All of which is not necessarily my opinion either, but, the numbers would suggest it is definitely theirs

The same reason why Officer clubs have died in the military. Our society is becoming more insular, selfish, and introverted.

I’m a member of a country club
Country music is what I love
I drive an old Ford pickup truck
I do my drinkin from a dixie cup

I have everybody golf on my ps4vr and it is better than 2d golfing

>>15987934

Golf is fun, fag

>>15987992
This. Atomized societies have no need for social events.

>>15987787
You’re alright you daft cunt

>>15988026
not really

>>15987787
Based Zoomer

>>15987717
money

>>15988004
Fuck off boomer

i tried golf for awhile but it's just another expense i don't want. boomers upped my rent and it had to come out of my golf budget.
i can see how its good to meet rich people but also it was just a lot of old boomers or their sons

Skiing is the patrician boomer sport

Too poor

>>15988035
Socializing has become a luxury for those financially independent enough that they don't have to work 2 jobs or work overtime to maintain their job.

>>15987717
Another retarded boomer meme. Nobody golfs anymore.Also, paying thousands of dollars to eat meh food and brag about your kids/job/whatever to people you pretend to like is cringe.

>>15987717
I find golf fun in very specific conditions
>Have a golf cart
>Esky full of alcohol
>Playing with mates from high school that I only see a few times a year

I would never in a million years play by myself. I think I only enjoy because it is nostalgic

Why do boomers have so much fucking money when they don't know how to actually do anything

>>15989488

You could just cruise through with a cheap or free uni degree and wander into a high-paying job with no real qualification.

Also, energy was a lot cheaper then. I don't take everything this guy says as gospel, but he makes some good points. Cheaper energy makes everything easier to do.

Only the US will have access to cheap energy in the coming years. Everybody else gets to fight over scraps. Plan accordingly.

>>15987717
Country clubs are a status symbol of earlier generations. They are of no value to us

Millenials go to bars/clubs and music festivals

>>15989565

Don't be so confident. I sense some Zeihan in your post. Remember, he highlighted the US as the only country with the legislative, geographical and technical ability to frack meaningfully. Once a Dem gets in the White House and implements eco-communism, you'll be just as taxed as the rest of us.

Energy in the West isn't expensive because it's hard to dig up, it's down to regulation and government sabotage. No country is immune forever.

I wouldn't go even for free. Fuck boomers.
