I am currently writing a report for my AS Level geography under the question Golf courses are costing the Earth and playing around. with nature.’ Explain why this has become a global issue.
I have been searching the web however I can't seem to find the average number of professionals who participate on a regular basis on tour events, or the number of worldwide qualified professionals. Both of which would be helpful for my report showing how the issue has become a global one.
If anyone has the information at hand or knows where I could find it I would be extremely greatfull

What!?!?!? Tell us again what you are writing about...
BTW, around here most view golf courses as costing a few bucks, some time away from the family, and a trip to the balls section after losing a few... Not too many fairway huggers here...
Basically, for our A2 Level geography coursework we are given a list of titles of which we have to write an acedemic report about, from the list, as a captain and a 2 handicapper I instinctively chose the golf question, as it is easy to write about with a lot of prior knowledge.
I don't happen to agree with the title, out of most sports I believe ours is the one best for the environment, especially over games such as football and motor racing.
I am not a "fairway hugger" by any means, but I am sure there are plenty of golf courses that do their share of polluting with unneeded chemicals and pesticides.
We have become somewhat spoiled by the conditions of courses. Those tractors, mowers, rollers, and blowers generally run on gas or diesel leading to greenhouse effects. My arguement to coutner that would be the protection of grass and trees causing a "net effect" that has become one of the buzz words lately.
Golf courses are not the problem of our society. There is likely more pollution coming from drunk golfers "making water" behind the tree by the tee box, or noise pollution from incoherent rantings about how they never play this bad. "If I could just shoot my normal round one time..."
