| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Charlie Passios, owner of The Passios Group and Moors Incorporated, and course manager and consultant, in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Describes how Passios is working on projects at The Golf Club at Cape Cod in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and that "when it opens...[in 2007], the private Rees Jones design will reflect Passios' sensitivity for the environment as much as it does Jones' vision." Details the natural characteristics that will be on the course, including perimeters of native shrubs and manmade wetland areas. States that "as part of the process of creating healthy turf naturally, Passios implemented a program of using less water, fewer chemicals and time-tested agronomic practices." Concludes that "water and open spaces are a precious commodity, and if [they] are going [to be utilized] for golf...utilize them in an environmentally sensitive manner...people absolutely can produce fine golf course conditions and still be responsible to the ecosystem." |
