Golf, and enjoy nature

Mon., Sept. 3, 2018

Look at the golf courses in your area that provide that green space. Recreation for all in the sport of golf while many others walk them summer and winter.

They provide acres of grass, trees and ponds. Sure, some acres are irrigated and fertilized, but many other acres are left natural. Golf courses provide recreation, quiet space, room for nature and green.

Today many private courses are heavily taxed and with fewer golfers resort to a sale to a developer thereby removing the areas green space.

Enjoy the sport and what a golf course provides every day.
