Green Golf?

With its manicured greens and often massive water consumption, golf has a poor environmental image. The creators of The Eden Project are now trying to change this perception (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/may/24/eden-project-creatorsto-open-edible-green-golf-course-gillyflower-cornwall). In Lostwithiel, Cornwall, every inch of the 9-hole Gillyflower golf course's non-playing surface is used to grow fruit and vegetables or is managed with wildlife in mind. This seems a worthwhile endeavour but I can't see it changing the managagement of big, tournament courses. In these venues, masses of onlookers, trample after the players. 'Green golf' might well prove to be a niche thing?
