Why I hate Golf
This is the Takapuna Golf Course in Auckland, New Zealand.
Tumblr media
It is in the middle of Auckland's north shore suburbs.
According to their website, they are one of the most popular golf courses in Aotearoa and have an annual visitor count of 60,000 people. They don't clarify if that is individual unique visitors or recounts, but lets be generous and say its unique visitors. 60,000, not bad.
This is Eden Park Stadium (the little square on the right) and oh look there's another golf course on the left there, ignore that one for now.
Tumblr media
(the above two images are at the same scale)
Eden park has a capacity of 50,000 people. Ed Sheeran was here earlier this year and sold out the two nights he performed. That's 100,000 people in a weekend all in that little red square. 60,000 in a year no longer seems so great.
60,000 people per year is also only 160 people per day. 160 visitors to a golf course that is 470,000 square meters in area. Now the average property size in Auckland is 500 square meters. So the golf course takes up the area of 940 houses.
940 homes worth of land for 160 people.
And that is Auckland housing sizes. Auckland is horribly designed and very spread out. Let's instead look at Barcelona, considered one of the most well designed cities in the world.
This is Takapuna golf course side by side with Barcelona
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The scale is as close to being equal as I could get them, I don't have ArcGIS data for Barcelona so had to use google maps)
Each red square overlaid on Takapuna Golf Course is exactly 133m in height/width, the same size as each city block in Barcelona, road width included.
There are 23 Barcelona blocks worth of space in Takapuna Golf Course with room to spare. About 640 people live in each Barcelona block, that's 15000 people.
15000 peoples worth of homes and living spaces, sacrificed so 160 people can play golf in a day.
Now this is just one golf course in a big city, what's 15,000 people to a city of 1.6 million, who cares right?
Here is a wider shot of Auckland City.
Tumblr media
Those red dots? They're golf courses.
There are 16 golf courses inside the metropolitan area of Auckland City (4 not pictured as Auckland is too spread out to get one clean screenshot). Keep in mind these are not rural golf courses out in the country, these are right beside housing developments and shopping malls. And for the record I could not find a single golf course in the Barcelona metropolitan area, you had to go out into the country before finding one.
So lets multiply that 15,000 people by 16 golf courses?
240,000 people.
With Auckland City's golf courses you could house 240,000 people comfortably with some good urban planning.
That is why I hate golf.

I've got a new book out today!
Burn Rate is the fifth Rachel Peng novel. Broadly, this series is what happens when five hundred idealistic youngsters allow an evil tech billionaire to stick computer chips in their brains.
Rachel Peng is **really** looking forward to killing him.
As for Burn Rate?
This is a book about mistakes and grief, loss and despair. About what happens when death cuts you open and leaves you to bleed out while life expects you to pick yourself up and move on.
It's also about a blind lesbian detective who uses her cybernetic implants as her assistive devices, and who swears. A lot.
Jenny taught her the concept of the misery stone, where trauma and grief never fully went away but changed in respect to the size and shape they held in her emotions. Some days, the misery stone was manageable, the size of a pebble which could be moved to its proper place in her memory. Other days, it was a boulder which took up too much space in her day, and she needed to struggle around it. Then there were days where it was the size of a mountain; unavoidable, unmanageable, and you had to confront it directly if you were to make any progress in getting over it. She hated that fucking mountain.
I'm aiming to close out the series in 2023, so two more books will hit between now and the end of the year. This is the sad book; the one after this is scheduled for Sept 30 and that's basically catharsis via extreme violence.
Links to all vendors are here.

"Checking, checking, 1, 2, 3..."
Tumblr media
"Is this thing on?!"
The camera tuned in to a girl wearing pink, who then furrowed her brows with a determined grin. The livestream already had thirteen thousand viewers, even though it just started, and comments began flooding in.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's up, fuckers?! It's your girl, Miu here! Currently with Rantaro, Kaede, Ryoma, Kirumi, Angie, Tenko, Korekiyo, Kokichi, Gonta, Kaito, Tsumugi, Kiibo, Shuichi, Maki, and Himiko, who I'm sure you all recognize from the channel, at the convention we mentioned we'd be going to!!"
Tumblr media
"Thank you, Iruma. But yes, we are getting rather bored here, and desire interaction. We were hoping a few of you would be able to tune in and talk to us."
Tumblr media
"Yes, yes! Give us a good laugh! We are soooooooo bored~! I may even be willing to put in a good word to Atua for you if you do~."
Tumblr media
"Gonta not bored! Gonta brought lots of bug friends! See?"
The boy, presumably called "Gonta", holds out two handfuls of different kinds of insects. That causes another boy to dart to the other end of the group, hiding behind a masked man.
Tumblr media
"S-Stay over there... please."
He must not like bugs, huh? But then
Tumblr media
"U-Um, guys? The comments...?"
She directs their attention to the comments, where yours comes up.
What does your comment say?
(( Feel free to ignore, interact if not tagged, or ask for your tag to be removed! Mods that play Kokichi or Kotoko on ANY blog in ANY capacity DNI!!!! ))
@human-monokuma @unknown-ultimates @pizza-for-my-friends @lildevxlsbakery and anyone else because the mod can't tag. ;w;
