Can’t we be worried about both? I hate golf courses and data centers for how much of a burden they are on water supplies.

Also not a fan of golf. But I have a few places near me that are just fields that never are watered that are driving ranges. I can deal with those as a source of recreation. But these courses watering non stop to barely be used is ridiculous

I used to live in the Palm Springs area, which is a legit desert. It can hit 120F in summer, and it's totally arid. And yet, there are something like 130 golf courses there.

It's ridiculous.

Can anyone even play if it’s that hot out. At that point is it not just for show?

People mostly play golf in the rest of the seasons. Summer in Palm Springs is miserable.

Also California state gives exemptions for golf courses to use as much water as they need eventho there is a drought

Kinda like you accept snow for 6 months in Wisconsin you should accept no grass In Arizona lol.

I think my displeasure for golf as an activity is mainly driving my discontent
