Heatwaves are increasingly hitting the planet. Arizona saw this summer a streak with more than 100 days with over 100 degrees F. How does grass on golf courses in Europe, the UAE or the USA react to heat? We spoke to the grass specialist Prof. Dr. Bernd Leinauer from the New Mexico State University. Full story about link in bio.

Golf in historical parks is a special experience.

Golf in historical parks is a special experience. The atmosphere of very old trees provides quietness and relaxation. On the other hand, golf clubs in historical parks have to take care of the sometimes more than 100-year-old giants. It's not an easy task, but a very sensible one. One example: the @Golfclub Bad Nauheim e.V., founded 1903, in Hesse, Germany.

Twenty years ago, the site of this golf course was a garbage tip and a quarry for the cement industry. Now it is pure nature, concealing a high-quality golf course. Great place: Mainzer Golfclub

How often do golfers think about divots?
Three days ago, I happened to walk past this pile of old divots—waiting here for their future as compost. They had withered away after hundreds of golfers apparently decided not to put them back.
Wasted, the chance that they might grow back. How nice for the next golfer whose ball lands in this very divot. 😂
Divots are a #quality issue. Anyone who inspects the landing zone of drives after a professional tournament will recognize a zone of holes. Anyone who visits one of the famous British links courses, where around 40,000 rounds are played in eight months, will see the same thing.
The consequence: constant divot management by the greenkeeping team to maintain quality. That costs time, money and resources.

How much of this does the normal golfer know? Probably not enough. I needed this impressive pile of old divots to think more about it.....

Save the bats! This golfclub renovated the old building and installiert new doors and windows. To save the habitat for the bats, who live under the roofs, special tubes were installed in the walls. We love it!
Great job @golfparkwinnerod

Performance centre, venue for the Ryder Cup and the Open de France and now also the Olympic Hashtag #golf tournament. Everything revolves around #sport at @legolfnational National near Paris. During my meeting with Arthur Lecomte and Maximilien Lambert from the French Golf Federation, however, I realized one thing: If you pursue #sustainability goals vehemently, you will always find a niche in which you can realize them. All you need is a #vision and the stamina to overcome setbacks.

💼 Golf courses are wonderful green classrooms.

💼 Golf courses are wonderful green classrooms.
⛳ What we see is a school class filling seeds from the flowers and grasses on the dry grassland of the Golf Club Würzburg course into small muffin moulds to take home and plant.
🦇 Environmental #education on the golf course with children and teenagers is a project that creates a connection to nature, utilizes the golf course in all its diversity and gives young people a community experience.
🏌‍♂️ A first coaching lesson on the driving range rounds off the class trip to the golf course.
📱 What's more, as a mum of two daughters, I always hated the kids spending a few hours fiddling around on their smartphones. The kids I met yesterday on the golf course didn't have time for TikTok and chats.
😀 They were busy - experiencing Hashtag #nature on the course and #golf as a new Hashtag #sport.

👏 Sponsored by @deutschergolfverband as part of the school project "Abschlag Schule", supported by the environmental organisation @LBV.

Extreme heat is a significant topic in sports. Tom Mackin, golf writer from Arizona, talked to local golf courses and golf associations about their reactions to increasing heat. Interesting aspect: Despite the extreme heat, the golf business is not decreasing, because greenfee rates are so much lower during the summer.

Circular economy has many aspects: One concerns the billions of tees, golfers are using per year. The Danish Company Greenup Golf uses coffee grounds and biomaterial to produce tees in Europe, which are now used on the ECCO Tour. Sounds sustainable.

No question, hardly any golfer likes rough. But when official regulations prohibit the cutting of rough or golf clubs decide to promote biodiversity, rough becomes an essential element of the game. @achimergolfclub had a brilliant idea for better marketing of high rough. Its tournament, the Tough Rougher, takes place precisely when the rough is at its highest. And the golfers love it. ♥👏⛳
