Abstract/Contents: | Announces the Environmental Institute for Golf (EIFG) as the administrator for the Rounds 4 Research program. Highlights the importance of securing additional resources to support research, education, advocacy and outreach as well as investing within the golf industry. Details the concept of Rounds 4 Research, explaining how rounds of golf are secured from facilities, and then placed online for golfers to bid on, with proceeds used for research and education. Acknowledges the growth of Rounds 4 Research from a small program run only by the Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association to an expanded program run by the EIFG with participation in Georgia, Texas and Virginia. Encourages "all chapters and regional turfgrass organizations to consider conducting a Rounds 4 Research program." |
