Seems like most of /r/golf is unaware of the change at Reddit. They're probably mostly official app users. I think it's kind of a different demographic then the core Reddit base. Like older richer folk.
I'm a terrible golfer, so I just kinda assume people won't want to hear what I have to say, but fuck it, sure, I can be the face of /c/golf for a while.
I decided to get back into it this year after taking about a decade off. I love being out on the course. Took some lessons at a local course and realized I have a lot of work to do before I feel comfortable going as part of a large group again. I second the comment about humidity, absolutely brutal on the course with pants. The pros must wear some sort of super high tech NASA grade moisture wicking underwear or something.
Kind of having the same issue with a community for my university. I have 10 subscribers, and I’ve gotten 1 comment. I’ll usually get 2 or 3 upvotes on posts, but I’m the only one posting anything. Hopefully it will liven up when football season starts.

/c/pinball is a desert, and it makes me sad. GL on your golf community.

There is another golf community which seems slightly more active. I think it’s in lemmyworld.

Thanks, yeah, I realized that after posting this. From the sidebar of this sub, you'd think the creator would give more of a shit.

I guess just follow both and see which one takes off.

I went this morning when the humidity was 93%. Baaaaad idea. How the pros play in long pants is beyond me.

My thought is that even if it's just me posting for a while, more people will see that it's active and join. At least, more than if the sub was empty.
