| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the progress made by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses via a questionnaire survey. Focuses on the progress towards wildlife and habitat management, chemical use reduction and safety, and water conservation and quality. Also discusses participant attitueds, stating that "program participants have been able to effectively integrate environmentally sound maintenance practices without sacrificing golfing priorities. Since joining the ACSP: 50% reported improved playing quality and 49% reported similar playing quality; 99% reported that golfer satisifaction has improved or remained the same; 66% of superintendents reported improved job satisfaction." Concludes that "environmentally sound golf course management is essential for maintaining the quality of the environment and continuing the natural heritage of the game of golf. The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses provides educational resources, a structured framework, and a set of environmental standards that help golf courses respond effectively to the challenges of maintaining an environmentally sound golf course. Audubon International looks forward to continuing its work with the golf industry to further improve environmental performance, measure results, and make the program an industry standard." |
