Pigs Destroy a Golf Course in Arizona and the Internet Sides With the Pigs

The internet has many foes, but one of its fiercest, and perhaps most surprising, is golf. TikTokers denounce it as a dry old man sport and environmentalists decry its adverse impacts. Some imagine a world where golf never existed, which was apparently the key to utopia this whole time. I personally only participate in the Wii version of the sport, but that's neither here nor there.

So when an Arizona golf course worker recently shared a video of their sprawling green ostensibly torn up by javelinas (a type of feral hog), they were probably expecting sympathy. But the internet being the golf-hating haven that it is, they were instead met with relentless dunking. Commenters launched from all angles, turning an L for golfers into a W for hogs. It's the meeting of the minds of two of the internet's favorite topics: feral hogs, and golf hate. No matter which side of the controversy you land on, we can all admit that it's pretty funny to imagine pigs playing golf.
