Golf is way too big, imo. No other sport even makes the list here.
Maybe we can combine it with "wildfires".
Some land is not worth anything but a golf course. An acre here is not the same as an acre there.
Here in NW Florida the topsoil is paper thin, total crap. We seem to do fine growing pine for lumber and planting solar farms. Head further north and it's a whole different story. Break slavery populations down by county, you got a soil map. Again, land is not necessarily useful land, if that makes sense.
Don't give a shit about golf, but I've heard modern ranges are family and eco friendly, park like. Anywhere you've sectioned land off from concrete and asphalt development is a win. Hell, we have a solid and varied bird population at Lowe's, along with some hawks that regularly patrol, just from our outdoor section and a little surrounding bit of woods. Weird, I know, didn't expect that. Can't wait to see what the insect population looks like in a couple of months.
