Happy #EarthDay! National Golf Foundation: Golf provides valuable green space, as trees and turfgrass at courses can improve air quality by producing oxygen and trapping pollutants, thus preventing them from reaching groundwater supplies. U.S. golf courses, which also serve as sanctuaries providing an essential habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals, continue to exhibit dramatic reductions, savings and technological advancements when it comes to environmental sustainability. Perhaps most notable is the industry’s management of its most precious resource – water – with usage at golf courses dropping 29 percent since 2005. While a small portion of these savings is attributable to a reduction in facility supply, the bigger impact is from the industry’s ongoing sustainability efforts: applying/using water more efficiently, and the implementation of best management practices that include water management guidelines, more drought-tolerant turfgrass, and an 11.5 percent reduction in total irrigated acres at existing facilities.
