| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses potential ways for golf courses to develop an environmental management plan based on the New York-based Audubon Society's Certification Program. Emphasizes that "developing programs to increase the size of naturalized areas, encouragement of healthy soil and pond ecosystems and reduction or recycling of resourses used will have an extremely positive impact on [facilities]." Focuses on the planning stage of enacting such a program, listing goals as examples to aim for during the process. Details the flow of nutrients in pond ecosystems, highlighting the potential of signal crayfish to balance the prevalence of algae and duck weed. Notes the possible effectiveness of increasing oxygen in the root zone or soil profile toward benefiting overall turf health. Recommends holding open houses and tours to increase public awareness of the superintendent profession, and encourages challenging golf course staff to "write down what their connection was with nature during one of their shifts" to foster health for the mind and soul. |
