Education
Turfgrass and golf course superintendent associations
partner with university scientists and industry
professionals to conduct high quality, research-based
education. Expanding knowledge is critical in
developing innovative management programs that
benefit both the golf course and the golfer.
Advocacy
Since golf facilities are businesses that have the
ability to impact the environment, it is only natural
that they are subject to regulation that may impact
land and water use, storm water runoff, energy
consumption and the use of nutrients and pesticides.
However, a regulation can have unintended negative
consequences if it is not created with a
comprehensive view. By taking an active approach to
the regulatory process, the golf industry can actually
help craft or influence policy in a manner that is
beneficial to all parties involved.
