The consequences of #climate change and the limita

The consequences of #climate change and the limitation of #resources are still underestimated by #golf facilities worldwide. The speed at which the environment changes and the economic threat this poses to many golf courses is sometimes not recognized. Therefore, the leading golf associations' clear emphasis on the need for #sustainable #agronomy is significant.
However, it is also crucial that not only the financially robust golf facilities but also all average clubs with limited human and financial resources have access to the necessary expertise.
The R&A today announced its expanded Sustainable Agronomy Service as inclusive, affordable and accessible.
Let's hope that the programme's persuasive power is significant enough to convince all those who still think they can sit out the challenges of climate change.

How does the DP World Tour achieve its net-zero targets? One of the steps is a change to green energies. The TV production for the #BMWPGAChampionship at @wentworth_club 2023 was powered by green hydrogen. Interesting concept!

⛳ If you want to think about the future of golf, you have to look at its past.
🌍 In Dornoch, #golf has existed for more than 400 years. At the same time, climate change is threatening parts of the Scottish coast and also parts of the golf courses of the world-famous @royal.dornoch Golf Club.
The conversation with its General Manager Neil Hampton was inspiring: Golf's future viability can be found in its roots.
This is how Vision 2050 can become a reality.

😀 The net zero goal sounds great at first. 🤔

😀 The net zero goal sounds great at first.
🤔 But when you take a second look, you realize there are problems.
🌳 Offsetting the carbon footprint with certificates is controversial. The research by a group of scientists around Thales A. West from the University of Amsterdam shows that the effectiveness of REDD+ projects, which are supposed to mitigate climate change by protecting forests, is pretty dubious. It will be interesting to see if further studies on other forms of compensation will follow and what results they will yield.
🚗 🛩 To be honest, given all these travel activities of golfers and fans at tournaments, all these car journeys of the regular golfer to his club, net zero in golf seems impossible at the moment without compensation with certificates.
❓ Should we, therefore, formulate other goals?

Let's close the golf courses - we know these (populist) calls from the last weeks from various media in big cities like London or Berlin.
Facts speak a different language. We need #green spaces in big cities, also with regard to the #water management of the future. The principle of the #sponge city is becoming essential for major urban areas. #Golf courses with their large and, above all, diverse areas, are part of this principle. We had a closer look at what the term sponge city means for golf courses.

💪 Yes, we can.

#Sustainability at the significant showcase events in #sports is excellent.
❓ But what about the thousands of #youth sporting events that are organized every week worldwide?
👩‍👧‍👦 The kids of today will have to live with the consequences of climate change far more than my generation.
Conclusion: It is only fair to invest motivation, money and time in events for children and young people.
⛳Congratulations to the @gcwestendorffrom #Tyrol in #Austria and @annamariakogler Anna-Maria Kogler, who did just that.

🌳 Trees stir emotions.
🌲 We have so many of them on golf courses. When they are as huge and striking as in this case, they fascinate.

👧 Environmental education on the #golf course is a way to turn children and young people into ambassadors for environmental protection and also for golf.

💡 According to the representative study, “Future? Youth ask! – 2021”, which the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMUV) commissioned surveyed more than 1,000 young people aged 14 to 22, this area of life is one of the four most important issues for young people in Germany. 85 % of the young people surveyed think environmental and climate protection is essential.

⛳ Golf courses can be a medium for environmental education. Let's use this opportunity like the @wittelsbachergc in Germany did.

⛳ Back at the Amundi Evian Championship: Of all

⛳ Back at the Amundi Evian Championship: Of all the tournaments I've been writing about for over 20 years, the one with the most incredible development.

🎥 Retrospect: When I first went to Evian-les-Bains in 2004 to see Michelle Wie play as a 14-year-old teenager, the tournament was not yet a major, the crowds were small even on the final Sunday, and the world's top women had the facility to themselves.

🎬 Nearly 20 years later, Continental Europe's only major tournament is impressive in terms of the quality of the sport, event organization, program and media coverage.

🏆 The success has its basis in the belief in women's sport and its future. "We wanted to do more than just be a sponsor," Natacha Andermahr, Head of Communications at Amundi, said Wednesday, referring to the Amundi Women Talent Program. Here, the company invests in young female talent, allowing them to develop their abilities.

Programs like these are less evident than pure prize money, which is what much of the equal pay issue is about now. In the end, however, promoting women's sports is not just about prize money but also about nurturing talent and, most importantly:

🙂 Belief in the fascination of women's golf in general.

Promoting biodiversity on the golf course can be so simple: Reading stone piles serve as habitats for insects, amphibians, mosses. Away from the playing areas, they are easily built.

How do we teach sports fans about #sustainability

How do we teach sports fans about #sustainability in a way that they don't see it as schoolmasterly?
We like the new approach of DP World Tour with Green Drive, which means a combination of fun and sport at the #Betford British Masters at The Belfry this week. A drive competition at the 10th hole is part of it.
