I don't care on way or the other about golf courses, I think it is a boring 
gane.  I have done business deals at the associated clubs, but I would just 
as soon have been at Durants, or a coffee shop for that matter.

But, they have little to do with water shortage in AZ.  If I am not mistaken, 
'all' golf courses in phoenix, (and I think we have more than any other one 
city in US) are supplied with recycled greywater.

  The grass is not watered with otherwise potable water.  I bellieve that 
came to be a number of years ago.  I wouldn't know where to begin to look for 
the data, but I remember reading and hearing the news.

In AZ, agriculture still uses about 75% of all clean water .....bobford
