Hank and the gang build a small golf course in their own backyards and have more fun doing that than any other form of golfing, at least on screen, which makes them cool

Hank was delighted by playing with the murderer's clubs Dale got him as a prank. Until their provenance was revealed, I mean.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Golf has the rich people reputation but in a lot of places it's pretty popular among blue collar and middle class people. Not every club is a fancy place, and it lets people get outdoors and move around at a relaxed pace. I can very much see Hank in particular enjoying it, it's about precision, good form, understanding the lay of the land and the current conditions, and getting everyone around to shut up for a minute.

I've known normal class golf likers, it just caught me off guard for Hank since he's always been about football and combined with guitar stuff just caught me off guard. I recently finished last season since I guess that's where i last left off, and then rolled back to season one so everyone's a little different.

There's no reason you can't like both. I imagine he enjoys watching football, but he's far too old and too busy to play it, while golf is far more accessible to a suburban father with a full time job, even if he probably wouldn't go out of his way to watch golf on TV. Seems pretty likely for a lot of middle class people, golf basically occupies a similar niche as bowling for a low-intensity recreational sport.

Also what his thoughts are on frisbee golf because I'm imagining an episode where Bobby starts playing that after deciding he dislikes regular golf.

Bobby keeps talking about his enjoyment of the game and somehow leaves out the frisbee part so Hank thinks he’s talking about normal golf for a while until he suddenly realizes that - bwahhhh?? it’s the hippie version!

Golf is the quintessential sport your dad plays. Low barrier to entry, high skill ceiling, highly social. I kinda feel like Hank should have played along in the Nine Rivers episode because he was getting an unbelievable deal on his membership. Maybe he would have if Ted was straight with him from the start.

If they bring conspiracy dale into modern conspiracy world, I want him to learn about Q and be horrified by their lack of rigor, cohesion, and effort, then get increasingly frustrated as they won't listen to him as he tries to preach the gospels of Art Bell.

They could do the car rant have him get into an accident then think they got him he heard the message loud and clear "AHHHH don't kill me!" as John Redcorn approaches to check in with Dale's recovery. Dale becomes afraid of his phone listening to him and only talks about his conspiracies after he makes sure no one has any cellphones on them.

It blew me away that the whole story is based in historical fact. Castro was in NYC in 1960 for a UN conference and was blackballed by every hotel in New York except the Theresa hotel in Harlem, where he held meetings with Malcolm X, Allan Ginsberg, Nikolai Khrushchev and others. The CIA was also actively trying to get people to assassinate Castro during that US visit.

It became a flashpoint in what we would today call the culture war, so much so that JFK announced his candidacy for President at that same hotel later in the year.

I don't know if Castro actually made it to a baseball game on that trip, but he very well might have.

e: This timeline syncs up with Hank being 40-ish when KITH was airing.

Or just write him out as dying from lung cancer and then have the rest of the gang dealing with what I'm sure is an utterly insane will that he left which can only be found via treasure hunt. Hundreds of thousands of dollars buried somewhere near Area 51 left for his alien son.
