| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the recent increase in golf course construction in Third World countries, such as: Thailand, Malaysia, Mexico, Indonesia, the Philipines, and the People's Republic of China. In some of these countries, land is scarce, and since golf courses use a lot of land, golf course developers have met with much opposition from natives of these countries who do not want their country to become westernized. Several anti-golf associations have been formed in recent years. Among them are the Global Anti-Golf Movement, and the Comite de Unidad Tepozteca in Mexico, which have been trying to provent golf courses from being built. |
