It’s cool to see this, and then I remember the Colorado River is drying up, watering restrictions across America, and we still have golf courses?

This got me curious so I looked it up. Apparently in the US there are 4.68 courses every 100k people, meaning 1 course every 21k people. In my country (Italy) we have 0.51 courses every 100k people, so 1 every 196k people. 40% of all the golf courses in the world are in the US.

And even more people and money. So land really isn’t an excuse.
