Larger boats and motors are not appropriate for all of Wisconsin's waterways. These boats make more and bigger waves, larger wakes, and create more environmental damage. As demand for boat access to lakes and waterways increases, recreation planners and providers must take care to protect Wisconsin's waterways as well as providing boat access. While nationwide the number of people playing golf has leveled off, participation in Wisconsin is increasing. As the population continues to age, more people with more time on their hands may take up golf.
Golfing is unique because it requires a relatively large, dedicated playing area.
The willingness of recreation providers to address these shortages with new courses in the future, and the continued growth in golfing in the Midwest, merits attention.
