I love how golf gets characterized as a game for the rich. We subsidize hockey, and there are thousands of kids who'd love to play, but it's incredibly expensive. For some reason that gets a free pass, whereas people golfing is somehow targeted.
And as far as the courses themselves, people want to live on the courses. It's a well maintained greenspace where property values are higher solely because they're on a golf course as opposed to a more houses.
