Brown. That's the color grass turns when it doesn't rain in the summer. I don't know why they're making this complicated. They live in a semi-desert climate, where Kentucky bluegrass does not do well. Now that we have a drought, people are looking around themselves and saying, "Oh, crap! We live in a desert." Plant native vegetation, people. It looks nice and requires no watering.

The fact that they're addressing the drought at all is surprising. Many of its residents, and other one-percenters around the state, are not.

In some respects. They are often environmentally responsible. We'll see what happens when they're asked to give up their golf courses.

they're not watering within 100 yards of the tees. Perfect. If you hit a drive less than 100 yards, it should reach a hazard like unwatered, hard, rocky earth.

I was lucky enough to be able to visit a friend there once. Good on them for addressing the issue.
