R&A sustainable agronomy - raising awareness & taking action at clubs
This seminar will share case studies and ideas of how greenkeepers can raise awareness of the sustainability pressures faced by golf courses and the actions to address them. Examples of how The R&A’s team of agronomists have supported course managers to plan, communicate and deliver agronomic improvements will be shared with steps for any club to take.
Learning outcomes:
- Identify the sustainability pressures being experienced by your course
- Have ways to articulate those course management challenges to others in your club
- See how other clubs and courses have managed to build support for sustainable course investment
