The U.S. Geological Survey's most recent water use data for Utah shows the state uses about 38 million gallons of water on golf courses per day.

PER FUCKING DAY.

Well the waste of land part doesn't really matter much cause if we ever did need that land for other things, it's still there. It's not as though building a golf course makes that patch of land into an irradiated wasteland that can never be used for anything else again.
