The Global Anti-Golf Movement has a manifesto that calls for:
>1. An immediate moratorium on all golf course development.
>2. An open and public environmental and social review/audit of existing golf courses.
>3. Existing golf courses should be converted to public parks, and where they lie in forest areas, wetlands and islands, there should be rehabilitation and regeneration of the land to its natural state.
>4. Investigations into illegalities in the golf industry, including illegal occupation of public lands and encroachment into protected forests, diversion of water, violation and evasion of corporate regulations and corruption. We call on governments to prosecute the violators.
>5. Laws should be passed to prohibit the advertising and promotion of golf courses and golf tourism.
>6. Overseas development assistance , from countries including Japan Australia and European public founds should not be used for the promotion of golf courses and golf tourism or the construction of infrastructure related to such development.
I’ll stop supporting golf courses when they pry the club from my cold stiff hands.

A round of golf with the sun just coming up.
A stop at the snack bar to say good morning to Barb. She works at the golf course and also for the same company I do.
Quick trip to Second Cup for my favorite coffee. A jumbo mocha mandarino that has 3 shots of espresso to get me going. 
Off to the Brampton Farmers Market where I ran into Rose who when not making beautiful concrete art works at Jake’s.
Time to bottle Jan’s wine.
While bottling the wine, I get a call that they’re having network troubles so it’s off to work.
Hmmm…the lights are on and they’re blinking - time to call in the people who actually know what they’re doing.
Luckily, Andrew is already here.
There’s the culprit! A Nortel VPN box that has decided to kill itself. Andrew makes some calls, switches a few things and everything is OK! Time to go home.
