7/21/22: Golf Course Mammoths
By federal decree, every privately-owned golf course was seized and turned into a natural preserve. In most places the sprinkler systems were kept in place. Endangered fauna were released into these habitats, the majority of whom did quite well in such open spaces.
Outrageous fees were charged to drive golf carts along these rolling hills, with visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the rare Chuchu bird, or perhaps the Ancestral Sloth. When wooly mammoths were inevitably resurrected, using gray elephants as surrogate mothers, they were released into these rolling hills. “Like sprinkles upon the suburban landscape,” the LA Times wrote.
The Party found that after some number of years, no one complained about the golf courses being gone anymore, the mammoths being too much of a crowd-pleaser.
