| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses water usage in the golf industry, stating that "drought and changing rainfall patterns, coupled with growing demand and anxious law-makers, are conspiring to pit the industry in a battle it didn't choose but can hardly ignore." Focuses on water restrictions as they affect the golf course, highlighting Dogwood Golf Club in Austell, Georgia, where they "stopped washing golf carts and just sprayed the spots where they were dirty...Authorities in Georgia have deemed all water as 'waters of the state' and, therefore, subject to restriction." Suggests that "golf courses have removed 500 acres of turf, or the equivalent of five full-size courses...Golf courses are simply the most efficient water users in any water use category." |
