Apparently, AI uses around half the water that is used to maintain US golf courses.

That certainly raises some red flags.

18, in fact.

the existence of golf courses in dry areas is an absolute crime and abomination

At least if it rains it's a sort of nature reserve too
But on desert and generally-dry places?
In the bin.

@noodlemaz Even in wetter environments, the awful monoculture is anathema to any serious environmental consideration.

@noodlemaz Also, the space used up per user is greater than almost any other pastime.

@UkeleleEric I'm not defending golf, it's a mess. I spent a lot of time going around a course as a kid, and it's where I learned to spot and apprexiate wildlife. Lots of wooded area there, outside a big built up city. Mixed memories for sure. The misogyny and classism of it all, ew.
In the US and especially dry areas it's a worse story. If we're talking water usage the location does matter.

I'd happily see them all gone if the land would be rewilded.
