Abstract/Contents:Discusses Environmental Management Systems (EMS), "an...approach to managing all environmental issues on a site - whether a golf course, manufacturing plant, agricultural production or processing facility, or any other entity." Explains that EMS "is a voluntary, standardized, systematic approach to manage environmental issues that is adapted across all industries and on an international scale." States that "in agriculture, horticulture, and golf courses the EMS concept is most advanced in Australia." Lists "key EMS components appropriate for golf clubs": plan, implement, monitor, and review. States that "these components are the framework for 18 practical steps or elements suggested for developing a golf course EMS plan." Concludes that "systematically recognizing environmental issues for the facility to manage is important, but how they are managed is where substance parts with intent...Any sustained effort at improving the environmental practices of golf course operations industry-wide must include some type of voluntary, verifiable EMS-like program and must be intentional, measurable, and real."
