Golf is also destroying the Pacific islands, and in this case it's the Japanese, who have also taken up this horrible game.

The amount of chemicals you need to kill almost everything except those golf-ready lawns is simply incredible, and of course, the water needs, the erosion caused by killing everything else, etc. etc. etc .

I believe the reason that golf exists is to show off that you are wealthy, not because the game itself is particularly energetic or absorbing. Given that clinical psychopaths like Bush or Trump are so big on golf, you would think that decent people would simply not participate.
