contribution to improving the image of the golf club and therefore also make working with authorities and offices easier. According to his statement, golf is no longer viewed by the public as a consumer of the environment but as an environmentalist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Currently, the topic of biodiversity is particularly close to our hearts,&#8221; explained Klose, who also took the opportunity to point out that golf, with its large extensive areas, makes a significant contribution to more <strong>biodiversity<\/strong> in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The potential has not yet been exhausted: According to Klose, around 170 golf courses are currently participating in the Golf &amp; Nature quality management program, which is divided into the three evaluation levels of bronze, silver and gold. Facilities interested in the program can find them under the following link or contact the DGV at <a href=\"mailto:serviceportal@dgv.golf.de\">serviceportal@dgv.golf.de<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p><em>All photos:
