[quote=scaredyclassic]Here’s a much more manly sport involving moving an object a long distance. Low water requirement.

That said, I agree golf is really no longer of interest to most of the population. I’m pretty much “golfed out,” so I’m all for looking at better uses for the land and resources.
I know I’d much rather have a lot of land around my home, rather than be crammed into a house just so they could build or preserve a golf course.
Besides, when it comes to outdoor activities, like a lot of people, I actually prefer running on the beach, surfing, tennis, and other more active sports.

Uh, no… Depends on which country club you want to associate with. The ones with money and an MBA? Tend towards golf….
In the spirit of continuing this “light” discussion (vs. our usual delving into the depths of the meaning of human existence:)–I agree–but I thought we were talking about physical sports–nevertheless–all are great.
Of course, in aviation, supersonic beats all, but, for a real e ticket ride, takeoff from the cockpit at 150 mph+ on liftoff is right up there, too.
Is it possible there won’t be a buyer? What would happen to all that open space then – would the Crosby homeowners have to pay the cost of landscaping all of it? Wondering if this could bring down prices in the Crosby…
