quetzaldillaYou ever notice there’s zero birds or wildlife in these places?
It’s all the pesticides and herbicides.
There was even an article a while back that living next to a golf course had a really high correlation with developing neurological diseases.
WTF todayi learned
Though I read that study was skewed by the average age of people that can afford to live near a golf course. They didn’t compare like for like in terms of health (as I recall anyway, open to correction!)
Sure it correlates, but does it cause it?
Correlation does not mean causation, but it might. If there is a plausible explanation for the correlation it is at least worth exploring, especially if there are many golf courses and therefore a lot of data.
It might also be all those toxic golfers, of course.
Clearly its correlated because neurological injuries cause you to want to play golf.
I think this is the study. They recon that 3 miles is too close and that they have corrected for age etc.
