What are the 4 majors in golf?
The four majors (for men's golf) are:
The Masters, which is run by Augusta National Golf Club, and played in April
The US Open, which is run by the USGA and is played in June
The Open Championship (often called the British Open in the US), which is run by the R&A and played in July, and
The PGA, which is run by the PGA and played in August.
Note that the PGA is the old PGA, the one that is now basically the association of club pros and teachers, not the PGA Tour, which is the touring professional players.
There's no authoritative committee that decides what's a major. These are the championships that have established a sufficient reputation to stand out from the rest. Things that go into major status are strength of field, prize money, qualification for subsequent events, and public recognition. Players don't stay home from majors unless they have to. Nobody misses the British Open to rest up for the Quad Cities, er, John Deere.
The PGA Tour would very much like to run its own major championship, and often hints that the Player's Championship (now in May) should be considered a major. If it were, there would be a major-a-month from April to August, which is probably too many.
Why are golf courses bad for the environment?
At first look, one would think that sectioning off acres upon acres of land to keep the concrete jungle from growing into it would be a good thing. However, the natural grass is usually replaced with grass specially grown for golf. This decreases the naturalness of the environment. Trees are cut down to make fairways, bushes are removed, ponds are dug, and the vegetation is largely kept from getting too large. This decreases animal habitats and the wildlife of the area. Finally, pesticides used to rid the course of certain insects seeps into the ground which gets into the natural matter underground, thus poisoning it. Fertilizers get into the water system, causing toxic algae blooms.

Where do you measure the distance on a golf hole?
Golf holes are measured from the middle of the tee-box, down the middle of the fairway, to the center of the green. So if a par 4, for instance, had a curve or dogleg in the fairway, the distance as stated above would be longer than measuring a hole "as the crow flies" or from the tee-box directly to the center of the green. Par three holes usually don't have fairways per say, so they are measured as the crow flies since they are designed to be completed in one full shot and two putts.
