There are 124 golf courses in the Coachella Valley in California, and they consume roughly 17 percent of all water there. Roughly one percent of the water consumed in California is used to keep golf courses green. On average, a golf course in the desert uses nearly one million gallons of water a day due to the hot and dry climate. This is three to four times more water per day than the average American golf course.
I know and it makes me weep.
Diplomat George F. Kennan (many years ago) called humans “a skin disease on the earth” and I can’t disagree.
Are we unable to curb our insatiable, greedy, childish demands in any way? I doubt it.
Live it up folks; you’ve only got a few decades (maybe) left…
I believe that there are just over 60 golf courses in San Diego! How else are the golfers going to keep their eye on a white ball….if the fairway isn’t kept a deep green! LOL
