    There are 15,500 golf courses in America.

    There are just over 900 stadiums in America.

      I think his point about the damage environmental damage golf courses cause pale in comparison to other sports that need arenas.

      Have you seen a golf course? Most of them aren’t made from scratch to fit some grand vision. They’re usually set up working with the environment rather than against it.

      I’ve been fishing on an old golf course that’s no longer in use and it was mostly the same except the grass wasn’t cut as low. Great outdoors spot for families.

        I thought he was just saying there’s way more stadiums than there are golf courses and that would be incorrect. I don’t have a problem with golf courses except for the excessive amount of water they seem to waste.
