Polo, Sail boat racing, Golf, Formula 1, Nascar, Speed Boats, I think you get my drift. Out of all these "rich man" sports I'm going to single out Golf.
Why pick on them? Well I don't want to pick on Golf so much as to show how this one sport has been so wasteful and why it came to this.
It's the price of entry, they were successful in making it inexpensive to the average player thereby growing the game to it's present size. How did they do this? Free water. Without oodles of free water there was no chance this sport would be as popular. And it's this one fact that needs to be addressed. If they payed for water like the residents did there would be FAR fewer courses. Thus making it a "Kings"sport like the rest of them. If any government had the balls to do this, we would have a chance of turning around the wastefulness of man. Something big like this is what it would take to get "meaningful" about the environment.
We do not need to water all these lawns and golf courses. The slogan needs to be,
NO FREE WATER. This is doable.
