I live within 1 mile of a golf course. :confused:

“ They found that people who lived within a mile of a golf course had a 126 per cent higher chance of getting Parkinson’sdisease than people who lived more than six miles away.”

Well, this isn’t what got me. Been too poor to live close to a golf course for much of my life.

I know they identified pesticides as a possible culprit but aren’t people who live near golf courses generally older and aren’t older people generally more likely get Parkinson’s?
