As recreational facilities go, golf courses seem particularly wasteful
in terms of land and resource use. According to Derrick Jensen,
"Collectively, municipal golf courses use as much water as municipal
human beings" (http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/articles/article/4801).
And I shudder to think of all the chemicals being used to keep those
hundreds of thousands of acres of grass green. I'm not particularly
anti-golf, but if I were, that would be the reason why.
