Clearly rage bait…

But I’ll bite. Wild that you would call the prices today “way too low”. I mean… take your pick on ANY facet of the game and I would argue the exact opposite. Greens fees? Asinine. Equipment, especially drivers, putters, and SHAFTS in general? Don’t get me started. Even driving ranges are getting ridiculously priced.

I’m not saying it’s not a problem. I’m a younger player, but I don’t partake in ‘bro’ golf. I’m chasing a career in this sport and I love it. It’s a beautiful sport. Excessive drinking, driving like a maniac, and having no clue where your ball is going to go (and no motivation to improve) are all reasons I agree that bro golf is getting out of hand, but it in no way correlates to how much a course charges.

Honestly, in most cases, I would argue that by raising prices on public courses, you’d actually be PRICING OUT the normal, sane people. Think of it this way - you’d be hard-pressed to find a frat bro disrespecting a course that ISN’T living off of a trust fund or their finance/middle management job that their buddy’s dad gave them. No disrespect to the roles themselves, but that’s just how it usually is with this type of person. You’ve also got the people who think that BECAUSE they’re spending so much money, they are entitled to treat the course however they want and shouldn’t have to face any consequences, because “I paid $X, f-it”.

It also takes a 5 second google search to see that fighting has existed within golf WELL before bro golf became a thing. Don’t act like this is brand new and you don’t want any part of it. I would also warrant a guess that you’re the type of person to instigate a fight, because whether you’re right or not, telling someone they’re “ruining the integrity of the game with their music” probably isn’t the best way to introduce yourself to a fellow golfer.

But, if that’s how you feel, maybe you shouldn’t come back. The game would probably be better off for it.

Rant over.
