    somehow immensely popular with a certain type of career-oriented person.

    Speaking as someone who loves disc golf for similar reasons I think it’s two things

    1. It’s a place where you can constantly improve at, and see that you’re improving at it, while also being impossible to master. So career driven people who get something from improving there craft and getting a promotion will probably get a similar feeling from improving there golf score.

    2. It’s mostly just walking and talking, so you can do your networking and dealing in a place much more pleasant then a board room.

      I feel like golf is a networking opportunity first and sport second

      It’s also just an excuse to walk around (stoned) on some nice grass

      I’m aware it’s a huge waste of water
