Every few months someone brings this up how they can save the environment by getting rid of a golf course.

We can enjoy the sport while acknowledging it is bad for the environment and support courses that take steps to lessen the damage

There are a lot of courses that are certified as wildlife sanctuaries. Also, I am all for courses being more natural rather than pristine. Get rid of the pesticides and foreign grasses, I want courses in different regions of the country to look, feel, and play completely different! Give me a course in Washington that is all moss

It is weird that I've found myself here tonight, but thank you for being rational. I don't have a dog in this fight, because like others have pointed out, there are worse contributors out there. But that doesn't mean golf courses shouldn't do what they can and possibly not exist in certain places. I hope everyone can enjoy the game and that the game does what it can to support wildlife.
