Comment on Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is.

Size of my local small golf club: 533 hectares.
And that’s one of the largest stadiums in the country, vs one of many, many golf courses.

That is an absurdly massive golf club. Nowhere near average.

Hang on, I’ve got my decimal point one over. For some reason I thought a hectare was 1,000m², and it’s 10,000m².
So 20.8 vs 53.3 hectares.
But a basic bog-standard golf club is still over twice the size of one of the largest football stadiums in the country.
