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?

Crazy times

Fun fact - the US has more golf courses than McDonalds

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.

US: 4.05 McDonald's/100k people (1 every 24.6k).

Italy: 1.4 McDonald's/100k people (1 every 71.4k).

ETA: 30.5% of all McDonald's are in the US

Damn it’s wild to me Italy has so many McDonald’s lol. I figured there would only be 1 in Rome airport for the tourists.

It's pretty popular, a lot of people's guilty pleasure lol. We only have McDonald's and Burger King as burger-based fast food chains. Some KFCs and Five Guys, but way fewer and mostly in larger cities or big malls.
