One thing that golf courses should do more of is to spread the message to golfers and the general public about the great things that they are doing on behalf of the environment and natural resource management. Courses that are involved in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses find that one of the Certification requirement areas is called Outreach and Education. I had always thought that this category would be the easiest topic to fulfill and actually the most fun. I guess that is because I am a teacher. However, we have found that most golf course superintendents find this category to be the most challenging and usually the one that they "save until the end."
So, in an effort to provide some assistance in this area, Audubon International has created a Facebook page which houses many pictures of examples of what golf courses are doing in regard to spreading the message about their environmental good works.

Ron I agree. That's why I started my maintenance blog. Call it tooting my own horn if you want, but my membership loves it. Doesn't matter if it is a morning picture of the flowers, dew covered turf, or of the wildlife in and around our lakes. Advice to all...if you don't tell em, they'll never know!
