What does an inclusive golf club really look like? What does an inclusive golf club really look like? It starts with more than accessible facilities. At Haxterpark in Paderborn, inclusion is part of the club’s DNA – on the course, in the workplace and in everyday club life. Bunkers are designed to remain a sporting challenge while being accessible to wheelchair users. The course and facilities are designed around accessibility. But perhaps even more importantly, people with disabilities are not simply welcomed as golfers – they are colleagues. Haxterpark operates as an inclusion business, with people with and without disabilities working side by side in golf administration, greenkeeping, gastronomy and service. Rafa Lawah is a powerful example. She joined Haxterpark as an employee and discovered golf through her work. Today, she plays regularly and competes internationally. That is what inclusion can look like when a golf club takes responsibility beyond the tee box: creating a place where people can work, play and participate – without their disability defining their role. Inclusion is not a special programme. It is about designing the club so that more people can be part of it.

Learn more about the future of water & golf with o Learn more about the future of water & golf with our four-part webinar series. Water has been a hot topic across the European golfing world. Our new four-part series, ‘Golf & Water’ (in German with subtitles), provides board members, golf managers, association officials and indeed all amateur golfers with a straightforward overview of the topic of #irrigation. Together with the experts from Toro Germany and GC St. Leon-Rot, we aim to ensure that awareness of this issue increases amongst non-greenkeepers within the industry. Anyone wishing to secure the future of a golf course must give serious consideration to irrigation. Only those with the necessary knowledge can make the right decisions. We look forward to welcoming everyone who wishes to treat themselves to a little further training with the help of these four free webinars. 👉 Golf & Water: Introduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPpf4Bnaytg 👉 Golf & Water: Technical basics of irrigation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ8uVj5rcps 👉 Golf & Water: Most important irrigation tips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3_7oZ5tYmg 👉 Golf & Water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q43u0eK5ezE 👉 Mehr insights: Golf Sustainable Akademie: https://golfsustainable.com/golf-sustainable-akademie/ #golf #education #water #irrigation #golfmanagement #TheFutureOfGolf #golfmanagement #golfclub #golf #golfer #golfdeutschland #greenkeeper #wasser #bewässerung
The end and the beginning: Heavy rain at the Husqv The end and the beginning: Heavy rain at the Husqvarna British Masters marks the end of England's extreme drought and the start of a transformation in the Hashtag#golf industry's use of water. But golf clubs have realised this summer - sustainable, efficient water management is necessary for a quality course. We talked to Jim Croxton from British & International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA) about the learnings of this summer. The Belfry Hotel & Resort is a positive example of a forward-thinking approach to irrigation. Most of the water for the Brabazon Course is reclaimed water from the hotel. Prioritising watered areas also saves water, carbon emissions, and money. Conclusion: There are ways to transform golf in a positive way when it comes to the use of water as one of our most important resources. Hopefully every member of a committee or board has learned that this year.

How climate-friendly is a golf course – really? 🌍⛳ How climate-friendly is a golf course – really? 🌍⛳ Golf courses can store carbon in their soils. But they also generate CO₂ emissions through mowing, irrigation, energy use and maintenance. So what is the actual balance? A new international research initiative is tackling this question. The ITRI “Pathways to a Climate-Positive Future for Golf” project, supported by STERF, The R&A and the USGA, aims to develop a globally applicable methodology for measuring both CO₂ sequestration and emissions on golf courses. Researcher Robert Kempster of NIBIO explains why this matters: without reliable data, golf clubs cannot know where their emissions come from – or where reductions will have the greatest impact. Climate, grass species, irrigation, energy sources and even previous land use can all influence the carbon balance of a golf course. The goal is not simply to make golf courses more resilient to climate change. It is to understand and reduce the emissions that contribute to it. The key question for golf is no longer just: How do we adapt? It is also: How much CO₂ do we emit – and how can we reduce it?

It’s time to talk about #carbon emissions. The sum It’s time to talk about #carbon emissions. The summer of 2026 was dominated by two words: #adaptation and #resilience. But focusing only on adaptation and resilience misses the root of the problem. Without reducing #CO₂ and other greenhouse gas emissions — including those generated by the golf industry itself — the costs of adaptation and resilience will continue to rise. 1⃣ At international management, greenkeeping, and golf travel conferences, carbon emissions have received little attention over the last two years. 2⃣ At the golf facility level very few lighthouse projects have begun active ESG reporting and are working toward a net-zero target. 3⃣ In professional golf, the picture is still limited. LIV Golf measures and reports its carbon emissions, as does the WM Phoenix Open. The DP World Tour has calculated emissions for eight events and its headquarters, including Rolex Series events, and has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. 4⃣ In golf equipment, carbon footprints still play only a very limited role in corporate communication and public reporting. 5⃣ And in science, research into the carbon emissions and carbon balance of golf course management remains relatively scarce and fragmented. Earlier studies have examined greenhouse gas emissions from turf management and the energy and carbon footprint of golf course maintenance. But the international evidence base is still limited. 📍 Conclusion: Carbon emissions are currently receiving far less attention within the golf industry than they need to if golf wants to establish itself as a credible contributor to climate action and environmental protection. ⛳ Let’s talk about carbon emissions: Starting next week, Golf Sustainable will report on the people, projects, institutions, and companies pushing this issue forward. We’ll start with an interview with Robert Kempster of NIBIO Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, Principal Investigator of “Pathways to a climate-positive future for golf.” It’s time to talk about carbon.

🌳 Did you know that perfectly healthy-looking tree 🌳 Did you know that perfectly healthy-looking trees can suddenly drop large branches? It’s called "Summer Branch Drop" , and it's a growing safety issue on golf courses. ⚠️ Record temperatures and long droughts are putting massive stress on trees. But why do healthy branches fall? ☀️ Due to severe heat and a lack of water, the cell pressure inside the tree drops. 📉 This causes the internal tension that stabilises the branches to suddenly disappear. 🔥 Additionally, the breaking strength of wood significantly decreases as temperatures rise. The tricky part is that these branches can snap completely unexpectedly, even when they are totally healthy and their crowns are full of green leaves. This poses a major safety risk for golfers who might be standing underneath them seeking shade. **How golf clubs are responding & how you can stay safe:** * Golf clubs are working closely with arborists and tree experts to conduct regular, detailed tree inspections to ensure player safety. * Always pay attention to warning signals like sudden cracking or unusual noises coming from the canopy. * Avoid lingering under trees during extreme heat and prolonged dry spells. * Pay attention to course communications—some clubs are actively warning members via their websites or may even temporarily close the course during dangerous wind conditions. Stay safe out on the fairways and respect course warnings! 🏌️‍♂️⛳ Have you ever witnessed a sudden branch drop on your home course?

It is during crises that it becomes clear where th It is during crises that it becomes clear where the problems lie. The current heatwave and drought are putting golf courses in Central Europe to the test in terms of irrigation management and infrastructure. One thing is clear: the ‘champions’ are those golf courses that have long been investing in modern infrastructure for water collection and irrigation, whilst also taking a strategic approach to site selection, education and new grasses. Nevertheless, this picture shows that there is still room for improvement to ensure that precisely such a scenario – automatic standard irrigation during rain and hail – does not occur. We spoke to five experts and asked them for their tips on improving irrigation.

A home for reptiles – and so much more. 🦎🌿 Health A home for reptiles – and so much more. 🦎🌿 Healthy ecosystems are built on habitat diversity. At Golf Club St. Leon-Rot, this carefully designed reptile habitat demonstrates how golf courses can provide valuable refuges for wildlife. Combining natural stone, deadwood and open sandy ground, the site offers ideal conditions for reptiles such as lizards. The stones absorb and retain heat, while the deadwood and crevices provide shelter, nesting opportunities and safe places to overwinter. These seemingly simple structures also benefit a wide range of insects and other small animals, making them an important part of a connected, biodiverse landscape. Creating habitats like this is a powerful reminder that sustainable golf course management goes far beyond maintaining playing surfaces—it means making space for nature to thrive. 🌱 Every habitat counts. Every species matters. #GolfSustainable #GolfAndNature #Biodiversity #ReptileHabitat #NaturePositive #Sustainability #WildlifeConservation #HabitatCreation #GolfCourseManagement #Ecology #StLeonRot
With temperatures reaching 33 degrees, the golf in With temperatures reaching 33 degrees, the golf industry in Central Europe is breaking a sweat. Extreme heat is directly linked to two other issues: customer service and occupational safety. We wanted to know from experts on the subject of heat how this works. Tom Rourke, General Manager at The Els Club in Dubai, deals with extreme heat on a daily basis. He can list a whole range of services that are part of everyday life at The Els Club in Dubai. 1. Early start times as early as 6 a.m. to take advantage of the most pleasant temperatures. 2. Extend the clubhouse’s hours so that breakfast and coffee are available before the first tee time. 3. Additional drinking water and hydration stations throughout the facility. 4. Golf carts equipped with coolers and ice to keep drinks cold throughout the round. 5. USB ports on the golf carts that can be used to power portable fans. 6. Chilled towels provide a small but effective way to cool off during the round. 7. Free ice cream or fresh snacks to cool off quickly. 8. More shaded areas and places to relax, especially at the halfway houses and on the terraces. 9. Player assistants or beverage carts that actively deliver chilled drinks and refreshments onto the course. #golfindubai #troongolf #golfsustainable #extremeheat #customerservice #golf #golfmanagement #elsclubdubai #dubaigolf Fotos: The Els Club Dubai
A crazy idea? Maybe. But now it is a global instit A crazy idea? Maybe. But now it is a global institution in golf: The Amundi Evian Championship 32 years ago, the idea seemed almost impossible. A small Ladies European Tour event on the shores of Lake Geneva. Most industry experts believed the project would fail. Instead, it became one of the greatest success stories in global sports as one of the five majors in women's golf. 1️⃣ A long-term vision instead of short-term returns From the very beginning, the ambition was to create a tournament that would still matter decades later. 2️⃣ Putting athletes before the event Many tournaments are designed around sponsors. Evian was designed around the players. Exceptional hospitality, attention to every detail, support for caddies, coaches and media created a tournament family. 3️⃣ Excellence is found in the details The Amundi Evian Championship is famous for its spectacular setting. Every element contributes to one coherent experience. 4️⃣ Investing in women's sport before it became fashionable Long before gender equality became mainstream, Riboud and Bungert believed in the commercial and sporting potential of women's golf. The arrival of Amundi as title partner accelerated that commitment. Prize money has grown from US$4.5 million in 2021 to US$9.1 million in 2026. 5️⃣ Building an ecosystem, not just a tournament The road to Evian begins long before players reach the major. The Amundi Evian Kids Cup and Juniors Cup introduce the world's best young golfers to the venue. Haeran Ryu is the perfect example. She won the Evian Juniors Cup in 2015. Eleven years later, she returned to set a new women's major championship scoring record with a brilliant 60 before lifting the trophy. Childhood dreams are connected with professional success. For me The Amundi Evian Championship has become much more than a golf tournament. It demonstrates what is possible when leadership is guided by vision, consistency, excellence and genuine belief in women. 📷 Philippe Millereau #Golf #WomensGolf #Leadership #SportsBusiness #SportsMarketing #EventManagement #WomenInSport #Diversity #BrandBuilding #GolfSustainable
⚡️ Can a world-class golf tournament run without d ⚡️ Can a world-class golf tournament run without diesel? The 2026 Genesis Scottish Open is proving that it can. The DP World Tour is taking one of its biggest steps yet towards decarbonising tournament operations by replacing conventional diesel-powered infrastructure with an integrated renewable energy system at The Renaissance Club. Here's how it works: 🔋 Two 250 kWh Green Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs), each equipped with an integrated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), form the heart of the tournament's new energy infrastructure. Positioned between the 1st and 15th holes, they provide reliable power for one of the busiest areas of the championship site. 📺 The hydrogen units supply electricity for the hospitality facilities around the 15th hole, the Genesis Public Lounge, the merchandise area and the large LED video screens—critical infrastructure that has traditionally relied on diesel generators. ☀️ For the first time, the Fan Village's main stage and the merchandise shop are powered entirely by solar energy, demonstrating how temporary event infrastructure can successfully transition to renewable electricity. 🔋 The integrated battery storage balances demand peaks, stores excess renewable energy and ensures a stable electricity supply throughout the tournament while reducing the need for backup generators. 🌍 The impact is measurable: • Approximately 16,200 kg of CO₂e are saved compared with a conventional diesel-powered energy system. • Even compared with the tournament's 2025 setup, emissions are expected to be reduced by around 600 kg CO₂e. • At the point of use, green hydrogen produces zero carbon emissions—its only by-product is water. The Genesis Scottish Open is demonstrating that renewable energy is no longer a concept for the future—it is ready to power major international sporting events today.

From groundwater to reclaimed water: Since July 8, From groundwater to reclaimed water: Since July 8, the Evian Golf Resort has been completely self-sufficient when it comes to water management. Through a partnership with Danone’s Evian bottling plant, treated industrial water is pumped via a five-kilometer pipeline to the Golf Academy and the golf resort, where it is used for irrigation. “We made this decision 18 months ago,” explains Franck Riboud, Honorary President of the Danone Group, which also owns the Evian Golf Resort. “We wanted freedom, and now we have it.” When Riboud speaks of freedom, he is referring to the increasingly strict French regulations governing the use of groundwater for irrigating sports fields. By installing a completely closed-loop system—which ensures full self-sufficiency for the golf courses—the golf club is no longer dependent on government regulations.

The KPMG Women's PGA Championship has made a statement: Equal pay and gender equality are relevant topics in golf. Yes, there are still differences between the payouts for male and female golfers, but especially at the Majors, the gaps are closing. The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is the most recent striking example. 🔹 For the 2026 season, the prize money for the KPMG Women's PGA Championship has surged to $13.1 million. For context, the purse was just $10.4 million in 2025. 🔹 Narrowing the Divide: The men's PGA Championship currently sits at $20.5 million. While a gap still exists, it is shrinking at a record pace. At $13.1 million, the pay gap has been reduced to approximately 1.56x. 🔹 Equality by Exception: Unlike the regular tour, where the structural gap remains wider, these Majors are closing the gap massively. The Amundi Evian Championship has also increased the prize money to $ 9,1 million. #Golf #KPMGWomensPGA #PGAChampionship #SportsBusiness #EqualPay #Leadership #LPGA #GenderEquality #womeningolf #femalegolfer #golf #prizemoney #golfsustainable Foto: Scott Taetsch/PGA of America #Golf #KPMGWomensPGA #PGAChampionship #SportsBusiness #EqualPay #Leadership #LPGA #GenderEquality
Prepared for extreme heat? Here’s what’s really ha Prepared for extreme heat? Here’s what’s really happening out here - some personal impressions from the last days in Munich: 🤣 During my fitting session, the portable TrackMan keeps breaking down. At one point, we’re cooling it down with a wet towel just to get through. Poor thing. 😉 The early morning round starts at 6:30. The temperature is perfect, and the course is surprisingly busy. But once you finish, don’t expect coffee—like always, the club restaurant doesn’t open until ten. 😅 Wednesday’s tournament? The organisers wisely moved the start-up to 11 am instead of noon. That hour makes really all the difference in beating the heat. 🙁 The club secretary’s phone won’t stop ringing with buggy requests. The only snag: most of the clubs don't have enough buggies to go around. 😩 Water stations on the course are another story. On most courses, you only find a refill station after nine holes. If you want more, you’d better pack an extra bottle or two. Conclusion: Extreme heat isn't just a health issue but also a management question. Clubs in cooler countries, which aren't used to heat, have to adapt to different playing times and consumer needs in the future. Yes: This is also a business opportunity. 📷 Generated by AI #golf #golfmanagement #transformation #adaptation #extremeheat #golfer #golfinglife #golfclub #extremeheat #golfplatz

Is your golf course ready for the climate of tomor Is your golf course ready for the climate of tomorrow? 🌡️⛳️ TV weather expert Karsten Schwanke shares a clear forecast – and concrete solutions. In an exclusive interview with leading sustainability consultant and golf strategist Petra Himmel, Schwanke breaks down exactly what changing weather patterns mean for the sport. With 2027 projected to be the hottest year on record globally, the DACH region needs to prepare for a Mediterranean climate: significantly drier summers, more intense thunderstorms, and much higher evaporation rates. For regions like the Berlin area , which are already experiencing enormous drought stress, it is high time to act. Schwanke strongly warns against letting drainage water simply flow into the sewage system – calling it the "greatest sin." Instead, clubs need intelligent water retention strategies, fully in the spirit of the Sponge City concept, to capture heavy winter rainfall in storage ponds for the dry months. Furthermore, we must protect existing, often older tree populations from unprecedented heat. The good news? The solutions for climate adaptation are already here; we just need to implement them much faster. 🌍💧 Read the full interview on Golf Sustainable to find out how to future-proof your course.

Which golf club knows its carbon footprint? In gen Which golf club knows its carbon footprint? In general, the topic of the golf industry's carbon footprint is difficult, as there are few published numbers and only a few event hosts, federations, or tour officials have developed strategies to reduce their emissions. GC Kitzeberg in Germany is a well-known but not very big club whose board members decided to act positively: They commissioned a report from a credible external consultancy, realised that "we have to become better," and started working on the first projects. Buying some new electric mowers is one of the steps. Communication with the membership was important, but successful. The journey isn't finished; many projects remain for the future. But what we like is the commitment to improve. Good luck for the next steps. #golf #greenkeeping #golfer #co2 #carbonemissions
