closing every golf course immediately is the moderate position
This is the study I cited in the interview. Living within 1 mile of a golf course increased Parkinson’s risk by 126% compared to living over 6 miles away, and the greatest risk (a 198% increase) was observed for those living 1–2 miles from a golf course! People relying on groundwater near golf courses had nearly double the risk of Parkinson's compared to areas without golf courses.
