If you think the land used for a golf course is a waste, then why not include land used for American Football, Football, Baseball, Lacrosse, Tennis stadiums, etc...lets turn ALL of them into farmland, lets not waste it in sport and recreation...
The fact that you may not like golf and know very little about the sport and the industry, which seems to be the case, doesn't mean that golf is a bad thing.
The other benefit of golf is the education that kids are receiving through golf, the life lessons they are getting from it, check "The First Tee" and learn a little about how they do it. And while you are at it, pick up a golf club and give it a shot, I believe you will change your mind about the sport after that, you will find out that it takes a lot of skill and a lot of work just to become a decent player, and when I say decent, I mean hitting in the upper 70s.
It helps to do some research about what you are about to bash before doing so, it can change your perspective of what you were planning to say/write.
