average golf course size according to google: 100..190 acres, let's steelman our calculations and go with 200
number of golf courses worldwide according to you know who: 38,000, let's make it an even 40k
20 times 40k = 8 milliion acres = 3,237,485 hectares
“according to the FAO, in the year 2013, the world’s arable land amounted to 1,407 million hectares, or about 5.4 million square miles”
let's see: 3,237,485 divided by 1,407 million is 0.0023…
not roughly 2.3%. not one tenth of 2.3%. not one hundredth of 2.3%. one thousandth of 2.3% ! Evil Big Golf is is taking up potentially a single one thousandth of 2.3% of of the world's arable land, back of an envelope estimate
even if climate collapse were a thing++ this would do sweet fanny adams to prevent it
++ which it isn't, and we can tell that even you know that it isn't because you wouldn't be calmly suggesting un-serious ideas like this
