how? Golf and pool are at the same level, not skills which apply to other areas, not useful to society, and not in this case creating community. Pool can be a hobby, but a complaint that anyone can’t make a living off of it is absurd.
One giant difference between pool and golf (I’m putting off work by posting to hexbear and now you have to suffer my nitpicking, I’m so sorry) is that golf is a massive waste of water and land, water and land that could be a dope ass park or wildlife preserve or literally anything other than a golf course. But pool is just an overly expensive (and heavy) table, a few balls, and a couple of sticks.
Pool is way better than golf, is what I’m saying.
