Ah so we want all the negative sentiment for saying we want to end golf but none of the positive effects of doing so? Fantastic plan!
I guess at best it might help push some courses into adopting ecologically sustainable management practices just to attract the green minded player.
It think it's more likely to foster resentment and distrust 'give the greens an inch and before you know it they'll have it's all locked in shoe boxes eating bugs' mentally that is so hard to fight against.
please enumerate the pro's from golf. The harms are manifold - everything from profligate water waste, terrible issues w/ fertilizer runoff, enormous amounts of land that could be used for housing, promoting a historically racist and classist sport, the harms are obvious and many. What pro's do you have that outweigh any of these cons?
The U.S. Geological Survey’s most recent water use data for Utah shows the state uses about 38 million gallons of water on golf courses per day. https://www.deseret.com/2022/3/22/22988989/an-illogical-oasis-golf-course-water-usage-st-george-golf
Audubon International estimates that the average American course uses 312,000 gallons per day. In a place like Palm Springs, where 57 golf courses challenge the desert, each course eats up a million gallons a day. That is, each course each day in Palm Springs consumes as much water as an American family of four uses in four years.

don't merely consider the water used - think about the power used to pump it, the power used to filter it, in the millions of gallons per day, and justify this shit.
a very active imagination you have going there. you were going to list the positive effects, go on.
