Areas that shared drinking water supplies with water used near golf courses were the most greatly impacted, the study shows. Researchers believe this shows that the pesticides used on golf courses could contribute to the amount of Parkinson's cases.

He added: "This new JAMA Network Open study offers a warning we can't ignore: living within 1-3 miles of a golf course more than doubles your odds of developing Parkinson's. Drinking water from municipal wells near golf courses in vulnerable groundwater areas may be a risk.

Researchers said in the study: "Individuals getting their tap water from groundwater water service areas with a golf course had nearly doubled odds of PD compared with individuals getting tap water from groundwater water service areas without golf courses and 49% greater odds of PD compared with individuals getting drinking water from private wells."
Or its because more older people retire to living on a golf course??? Ahhh your tax dollars at work.
