At 41 mpg, golfers are as efficient as a hybrid

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!
