Climate activists fill golf holes with cement after water ban exemption
BBC News ^ | 8/13/22 | Merlyn Thomas

Climate activists in southern France have filled golf course holes with cement to protest against the exemption of golf greens from water bans amid the country's severe drought.

The group targeted sites near the city of Toulouse, calling golf the "leisure industry of the most privileged".

The exemption of golf greens has sparked controversy as 100 French villages are short of drinking water.

Golf officials say greens would die in three days without water.

"A golf course without a green is like an ice-rink without ice," Gérard Rougier of the French Golf Federation told the France Info news website. He added that 15,000 people worked in golf courses across the country.

We should fill their buttholes full of cement but that would be a lot of cement.

Why is there a drought when they can desalinate water off the Atlantic like Israel does the Mediterranean?

I have known some old golfers who would take a Nine Iron Club and beat the hell out of somebody they caught filling holes with cement. Most Golfers I have met are calm during the game, but some of them take it quite seriously. For them, it’s not just for fun.

We’ll, I like to take shots at the French as much as the next guy, but Israel’s in a desert and France is not. I no more expect them to build
desalination plants than I would expect our rainiest cities such as Seattle, Miami, or New Orleans to do so as a safeguard against drought

And if they went swimming, they would sink like, well you know, cement. 🤪🤗😆

there’s no limit to what “climate” activists can do...because they are pawns of the “climate” elites behind The Great Re-Set.

I guess they didn’t know that they move the holes every day.

I know it is a dumb question, but what is the difference between cement and concrete?

I’d venture a guess they wouldn’t do that here: https://twitter.com/alexbruesewitz/status/1553844592142946304?s=21&t=2h9ih4cYXiQbUtWuAtYpIg

“I guess they didn’t know that they move the holes every day.”

…and use the sod “plug” removed to make the green’s new hole to precisely fill the old hole (including the hole left after removing any concrete plug).

You’re right, Greenies are essentially ignorant in the ways of the world.

Mortar is a mixture of cement and sand.
Concrete is a mixture of cement and pebbles.

Uh, you do know that a golf course cuts new holes on a regular basis, right?
