If only an investigative reporter would do a full job on this group - I think the results would appall everyone. bill grant, california
 Dear Bill--I've done alot of reading about environmental issues.  I seem to recall a book about golf courses; their economic and environmental costs.  Or it might have been in an old issue of World Watch magazine.  But when I went to their site, I didn't see it listed in more recent issues.  Of course there are numerous references to these problems throughout environ. literature, but I think you're right; no one's done the full job definitive text devoted to it.  Lake Tahoe comes to mind, losing its clarity due in part to lakeside golf course runoff of fertilizers, etc.  Wendy
