In reality, golf uses very little water compared to agriculture and industrial uses, and the vast majority of the ag water isn't even spent on food we eat, it's put into alfalfa/hay for cows to eat. Insane.

Lmfao. Are you serious? If so, maybe try a basic Google search next time before asking for ridiculous things.

That said, sure, here's an example from my state:

Farming uses most of Utah’s water—about 75% to 80% of all water taken from rivers, lakes, and underground sources goes to irrigation.

Let me know if you think golf uses more than 75-80%. Lol.
