If you watch the most recent "Living the Dream" regarding the new golf courses, or if you had any clue about actually playing the game or designing a golf course, you'd know that...

To your other RANDOM points... They have nothing to do with golf... Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't add "the death of the coral reefs" to your post!
My point about the world's forests was PERFECTLY valid in this thread because the main point of the thread is whether to emphasis large long golf courses or smaller Pitch and Putts. And it doesn't matter about the Villages purchasing "old cow pastures" because we are talking about what they DO with them AFTER they purchase them.........they THEN have a choice of building Pitch and Putts INSTEAD of longer courses and then using the additional acreage to then plant MORE trees and make something like a wilderness walking path or a park with lots of trees. TV Land may have enough LONG golf courses and NEED more actual NATURE available for the Villagers to USE and APPRECIATE. There is a choice and a tradeoff........for example a PARK is less expensive to MAINTAIN than a GOLF course. More people would use the PARK.
