Just a Thought
If we converted every golf course in the United States into something useful, say wheat farms, it would produce enough wheat to feed 34 million people for a year, based on average global wheat consumption per capita. Just something to think about, what with rampant world hunger and all.

There is still plenty of farmland.
And because I've spent waaaayyy too much time with my husband, his voice is echoing in my head as I say that Golf courses play an important role. And that they do more for air purity and oxygen content in the city than any other park, etc. (Yeah, he grew up growing grass.)
That is an interesting point about the positive effects of grass, though. I'll have to look into that. Of course, you could just make a regular park with grass...
