Documenting your progress toward sustainability

Our members know that we are always encouraging them to reduce intensively maintained turf acreage, minimize fertilizer inputs, use lower toxicity pesticides, and reduce water use. This article in GCM Magazine provides a helpful overview of metrics for these sustainability efforts that can help golf course facilities measure and communicate their environmental goals in a very practical, science-based way. We highly encourage reviewing these simple approaches and guidelines and considering how you can take them back to your facility.
