Bad for the planet, but golfers typically care only about themselves, so no surprise there.
..........And incidentally every year the world's forests decrease especially in the Amazon Rain (soon to be desert). If golfers really cared about their next generation, they would require that 5% of the cost of green fees were sent to an organization for preserving the Amazon and other forests. The US forests are all dry and burning as part of Global Warming, which most golfers are quick to ignore. I could say you folks are only "fore" yourselfs, but I won't.

Do you have a legitimate source for that assertion??? After all both trees and grass utilize the same basic formula for photosynthesis----6CO2 + 6 H2O = C6H12O6(glucose) + 6O2, and the surface area of grass blades equals or exceeds that of "trees"
