Golf is fun, but depending on location it is an environmental nightmare. The amount of water sprayed on bare ground to make massive grassy fields, then the pesticides, all so a couple people at a time can push a ball around. On the other hand, ice and snow golf seems ideal.

When I was overseas we had a course made by spraying oil on sand to create greens and fairways. That was ironically more environmentally friendly than anything used by the PGA.

Like this, but ours was so dry that the entire thing used oil.
