EIGCA Patron, GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf, is delighted to share a new publication - Sustainable Golf Renovations Guidelines - with inspiration, support and latest examples of course improvements.
EIGCA Bronze Partner Turfgrass – For an even “greener” golf course
As a world-leading golf course consultancy, Turfgrass® mission is to develop, enhance and maintain the golf courses of the future. For all of us, the future means playing our part in protecting the planet. For the golf industry, this means ensuring that every aspect of a golf course is considerate of the environment and adopts sustainable practices.
The Tree Dilemma – carbon sequestration on golf courses
This is the first in a series of articles we will publish this year focusing on environmental sustainability. EIGCA Sustainability Advisor, Keith Duff, takes this opportunity to reflect on the often controversial issue of woodland management on golf courses, and concludes that it’s not just trees that capture and store carbon. Areas of heathland, wetland and grassland, which make up a large percentage of the area of many golf courses, also play a key role.
As part of an ongoing series of webinars, EIGCA and BIGGA held a webinar on 15th September to discuss how course design influences maintenance and the value of architect and greenkeeper working together.
Recent changes to simplify the EIGCA’s RSSGCD programme have encouraged more members to embark – and progress – on the path to sustainability recognition.
