Ban the use of water on golf courses in California

While middle-class homeowners risk fines for watering their lawns, millions upon millions of gallons of water are wasted every day on a boring leisure sport for the wealthy. Ban the use of water on golf courses in California.

Why is this important?

California is second only to Florida in the number of golf courses it has: 921.

Together, those courses use as much water as 2.8 million people, or about 7 percent of the state's population.
