18 holes at what cost?
The United States is the most wasteful water user in the world, according to figures released at the Third World Water Forum in Kyoto, Japan.
And a key reason behind America's placing is the country's love of golf. Keeping fairways lush and greens green requires vast amounts of water. But the overall benefit of such water use is largely restricted to the golfers and the club owners. In other words, golf is a highly inefficient use of water. The US has about 23,000 golf courses - far and away the largest number in the world. [BBC] [BBC Water]
Golf is by far the most boring and lifeless sport I have seen, rather than me saying anything more I suggest you download some George Carlin and Robin Williams.
