A Sustainable Approach to Golf Facility Management
Stewardship of natural resources, engagement in the communities where golf facilities are located, and maintaining prosperous businesses are vital to the long-term health of the golf industry.
The Environmental Institute for Golf, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, is leading a collaborative industry-wide effort toward a sustainable approach to golf facility management.
Sustainability is about ensuring profitable businesses while making decisions that are in the long-term interest of the environment and communities. The focus is on continual improvement by professionally managing and conserving resources and inputs, and reducing waste while providing playing conditions that satisfy golfers of today and tomorrow.
IPM Planning Guide Released
The Institute has developed the free IPM Planning Guide to help superintendents and their facilities create a comprehensive written document that contains the strategies and tactics to manage pests on the golf course. With a series of templates and reference materials, the guide takes you step by step through the process of building a complete integrated pest management plan specific to your course.
