🏆 The DP World Tour Championship is taking place this weekend on a course where overseeding has been avoided in order to save resources.
⛳ High-end tour courses thus serve as pioneers for a sustainable approach to greenkeeping, which is essential.
📌 If the course quality is good enough for McIlroy & Co. without overseeding, the golf fan at his home club will no longer demand this measure.

The debate about the future viability of expensive

The debate about the future viability of expensive private clubs in major cities like London shows no signs of fading.
⛳ For us, the look behind the scenes at The Wisley Golf Club was, therefore, quite interesting. How does one of the UK's leading #golf clubs position itself regarding #sustainability?
👉 Conclusion: I was pretty surprised - John Glendinning, Chief Executive, had for example already successfully dealt with the issue of a paperless office himself. Numerous projects on water, plastic and energy have been implemented.
Exclusivity also means commitment. Sustainable management is essential for top clubs to keep the support of the public.

👏 Implementation instead of announcement - that

👏 Implementation instead of announcement - that's what we like so much about COSTA NAVARINO. We have followed the development of this ambitious golf project from the very beginning 2010.
🌿 Since then, Costa Navarino has implemented so many sustainable practices, that they deserve the World Golf Award for Europe's Best Eco-Friendy Golf Facility.

Golf needs openness and the willingness to coopera

Golf needs openness and the willingness to cooperate and think out of the box. With a new initiative to enhance networking between superintendents, clubmanagers and presidents of quality golf clubs the association The Leading Golf Clubs of Germany connects decision makers. The event at Golf Club St. Leon Rot was a huge success.

💪 Resilience instead of defencelessness.
✌ Action instead of resignation.

📌 When it comes to dealing with the consequences of climate change, many golf courses have already taken measures to adapt to the challenges of the future. Far too many golf course managers, however, cling to these two patterns of behaviour.
1️⃣ They bury their heads in the sand, hoping that extreme weather and stricter regulations will somehow pass them by.
2️⃣ They react to emergencies at short notice, which usually leads to higher costs, often course closures and uncoordinated construction sites, as well as member dissatisfaction as a result.

⛳ Golf courses are not to be treated much differently than cities: with the right measures, they can prepare for heavy rain, drought or storms in most cases.
Golf course designer Thomas Himmel explains how to future-proof #golf courses with the right design adjustments. (Full link in story)

😀 Positive news from the equipment industry rarely lands on my desk.
🏌‍♀️ How nice that Ping Europe Limited, one of the leading club manufacturers, is now switching to renewable energies in Europe. 250.000 Kwh per year will be produced with solar panels on the roof. Ping Europe becomes 41,5 % self-sufficient in terms of energy use.
🙂 Who knows, maybe they will increase - the positive news about the environmentally friendly production of balls and clubs.

Vision 2050 shows Marcel Siems perspective on golf

Vision 2050 shows Marcel Siems perspective on golf and sustainability.
I met him for the #Vision 2050 series in Mauritius at the Heritage Resorts, which is setting an example with its sustainable management. Marcel Siem and his family have moved here from Germany.
It is difficult to find players in professional sports who speak out and take a stand on the issue of #sustainability. Marcel Siem does - even if he is still an exotic player at the moment.
My opinion: He is a trendsetter. We need more of them.

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.
