I think that the exact moment that thug became the "polite" way of calling someone a McGriddle (seriously, Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che is so good) is right here:
Before that it was always used (in the instances I had seen/heard) to refer to pretty much anyone who was angry/violent/confrontational, but absolutely more towards black men. After that? God damn, thug was all over social media referring to Sherman. Now it's a near-constant find/replace for the N word.
Golf courses in deserts are about as bad as Roman vomitoriums where everybody eats and then pukes so they can eat more, and Roman vomitoriums weren't even a real thing
Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
My dad worked at a golf course so its his fault I know how to golf and have two sets of clubs in my house (both hand-me-downs from him buying/being gifted new clubs). I doubt I'd know how to golf if it weren't for that.
I mean it's pretty easy to know "how" to golf. The rules aren't very complicated. I've never actually golfed but I know the rules through cultural osmosis.
That's not really what I'm talking about, I mean that I cannot hit the ball and make it go up in the air
that puts you on par with most golfers. I wouldn't worry about it
for business people a lot of things go down on the golf course so it's turned into a bit of a requisite skill
I know how to play golf but I hate it. there's no consistency at all and you can have a terrible round for no real reason. it's very antithetical to my preferred sport of swimming which is very input in - output out. you work hard - you swim faster.

I prefer to use golf as a quick divination for how my weekend is going to go.
A tee off where the ball sails straight down the fairway and has good position = I've used up all my luck for the weekend, someone has surely hit my car in the parking lot and not left a note
It's especially galling because it was invented by native Americans
And now it is primarily played by spoiled white kids
I totally mentioned lacrosse.

i'd never really thought of hockey as a rich person sport. hockey equipment is pretty goddamn expensive...
I had several friends who played hockey in high school. Their parents were doctors, a surgeon, a judge, a lawyer and a business owner. I guess I had one friend who's parents were not wealthy, but his parents spent a significant amount of time volunteering for the club, which helps lower the overall cost.
Aside from the equipment being expensive, you also have to pay for ice time and most weekends during the season or during club season you will have games and tournaments out of town so you also include travel and hotel costs.
It's not exclusively a rich person sport, but it's probably one of, if not the, most expensive team sports.

Golf being a game for the wealthy is patently false. A vast majority of golfers use discount or used equipment on public courses which there are a hell of a lot more of in the world than country clubs. It is very much a working class activity.
Yeah
I go golf, when I can
I make $16/hr, I used to make 11 when I golfed frequently

Especially if you're a goaltender.
Golf courses in the desert are a testiment to man's hubris.
equestrian, certainly. anything involving horses that doesn't also involve a rodeo clown, generally.
jai alai.
hm...
formula 1 is totally a rich guy sport. it's like fancy european nascar!
field hockey? the only person i ever knew who played field hockey had an orthodontist and a dentist for parents.
His response to that was so heartbreaking too

Truth.
Frolf, Jerry!
formula 1 is the richest of rich people sports
the cars start at $2.5m, but you'll be spending several times that on maintenance and equipment
that puts you on par with most golfers. I wouldn't worry about it

Well this is obligatory
And I used to play mini golf all the time.
Put together, that's pretty much golf, right?
Lacrosse is the epitome of rich kid sports

lacrosse is big here because this is the area it originated from
that said learning to play lacrosse is even more agonizing than golf
I totally mentioned lacrosse.

But the hazards are much more interesting.

It's a fun way to pass a few hours and sometimes I even hit the ball past the 100 yard marker.
