| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses environmental stewardship in the golf industry. States that "national and international groups are working constantly to ensure government and business adhere to the most rigorous standards to ensure the preservation of endangered wildlife and their habitat across the globe." Explains that "golf courses, their construction, maintenance and effect on the landscape, the animals and birds which depend on it and the community as a whole are now firmly under the microscope." Mentions possible environmental benefits to golf course construction, stating that "already environemental groups recognise [recognize] the significant role that golf courses can play in their campaigns." Suggests that "courses in urban areas...[can provide] a habitat where native flora and fauna could flourish in a densely populate suburban area." Mentions the development of environmental guidelines, stating that "the AGU [Australian Golf Union] has also identified methodologies for the future as it seeks to set environmental standards in the development of courses." |
