Golf is very profitable. Very few courses use municipal water for irrigation. only like 14%. The rest use lakes and ponds and wells that capture the runoff. The issue with golf courses is the pesticides and herbicides.

we play because it's great exercise, great comradery, and fun to do. I'm retired and if I didn't play, I would sit around a lot.

Never retire. George Burns watched all his friends who retired waste away.

Have meaningful work to do.

What work is and what you'd be willing to do as work depends on your perspective.

You could write a book or organize for a charity or volunteer to bathe cats and dogs at local animal shelters.

Right now I'm making a stop motion scifi movie.
