Sustainability
By saving your golf course you help save our world, a lot!
There currently exists a concerted drive by Golf's Governing Bodies and Golfing Associations worldwide toward pro-sustainable management and maintenance of golf courses. The ultimate aim was for each course to achieve an ISO 14001 compliant Environmental Management System (EMS).
More recently golf specific organisations such as The Golf Environment Organisation (www.golfenvironment.org) and Audubon International (www.golfandenvironment.com) have illustrated tremendous leadership by refining sustainability fundamentals to be more applicable for our sport. Now, through these organisations, golf clubs worldwide can obtain more compatible advice, aim for more meaningful targets and achieve more relevant certification.
Indeed, some of the games most prominent names support our sports drive toward sustainable co-existence with our environment.
The environmental cost of divots has flown beneath the radar but research has revealed that our divots equate not to molehills but to mountains.
