    Doesn’t golf have benefits for wildfires? The courses act as a fire break and if they’re built on the edge of towns can help stop the fire.

    It does nothing to fix the root cause but things that help mitigate climate disasters are good too.

      They can build fire retardant systems that are cheaper then golf courses and don’t involve wasting mega tons of water every month. Golf courses are incredibly wasteful and and unnecessary drain on our water supply.
