We should turn that golf course into a farm

    I picture a bunch of grass that’s not doing anything useful. If golf changed the rules to mandate native plants for courses, naturally maintained (eg, no lawnmowers or sprinklers) I’d be slightly less than 100% opposed to its continued existence but that seems unlikely.

      I’m no golfer, but many have come into these sorts of threads and saying course are making them more nature friendly. But no my friend, that grass requires intensive care, can’t be anything approaching natural.

        100%

        That grass is not native to the environment, maybe not to any environment, and it’s maintained by the use of clean drinkable water and enough herbicides and pesticides to commit a war crime.
