Allow me, dear readers, to take zero credit for this observation; reader Elliot DeBear just e-mailed it in:

A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a Year. That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind of makes you proud. Almost feel like a hybrid.

Thanks, Elliot!

(By the way, Elliot’s also been posting some great reviews of golf courses on our sites, including Greg Norman’s El Camaleon Golf Course in Mexico, Bethpage Black in New York, Iberostar Playa Paraiso Golf Club near Cancun and Coyote Hills Golf Course near L.A.)
