Note:Includes Editor's note: "The Times (UK) recently carried articles about genetically modified golf turf, announcing that "the world's first genetically modified golf courses have been planted at 14 secret locations in America, preparing the way for club backers to putt on greens as smooth as those at Augusta and St Andrews... The GM variety carries a bacterial gene that confers resistance to a herbicide made by Monsanto called Roundup, or glyphosate." Here's a response from an NCAP member."
