All the fluff is great, they use recycled score cards, they plant new grasses and shrubs. But, do they comply with the EPA, for waste water run off from the washing of their equiptment full of insecticides, fertilizer, oil, gasoline? Do they comply with the "Clean Water Act" my guess is no Actually it is not a guess it is a fact. I have seen over 25 South Florida courses washing carts, grass cutters, fertilizing equiptment Right on either the asphalt or open ground, a clear violation of the "Clean Water Act". However, the lack of environmental inspections at these and many more violators in South Florida is non existent. Maybe someone should look into this concidering our water is our greatest resourse. It is a shame we all look the other way and only report the warm and fuzzy and not look into the real root of our pollution issues.
