It's a piece of property that, if you're going to have a development out here, you need to have a golf course because you need to take care of the effluent water being created by the development.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Why are we building golf courses? Because we enjoy being outside, bringing man and nature together.
Golf has an ambivalent relationship with the environment. On one hand, it's a great preserver of open spaces. Golf doesn't pave the world - it helps to green the world. But the downside is, it uses a lot of fertilizer, pesticides and water.
Conservation is important... water comes at a cost.
As someone who has grown up living in Southern California, I know all too well about the costs and scarcities of water.
A golf course is the epitome of all that is purely transitory in the universe; a space not to dwell in, but to get over as quickly as possible.
But we do have a golf course near by and I play fairly regularly.
On a real course, I'd probably want to throw my club in the water if I hit a duff shot. I'll give golf a miss - it's definitely not my sport.
The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.
Golf course design is exciting.
Golf courses sell real estate and that's why they're built.
