| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses strategies that may help achieve economic and environmental sustainability in Florida. Mentions that "the golf industry in Florida has been especially hard hit by the crashes in the financial and real estate markets...in response to the economic difficulties...Green Section agronomists have been gathering and disseminating cost-saving and cutting measures." Recommends practices such as limiting winter overseeding, cutbacks to fertilization, spoon-feeding tees and having "strict enforcement of multiple cart usage policies." Suggests that "it is easier to move away from the 'green is good, brown is bad' mentality as golfers become more educated about the subject." |
