How do we shop? Are we just looking for the prize,

How do we shop? Are we just looking for the prize, or on functionality or sustainability? With aggressive online platforms like Temu getting more present in sports, we asked the fashion-expert Joanna Czutkowna about her opinion. Our take-away: It's not just about the prize. Think about the carbon emissions for transport, for example from China, the sustainability process itself and the packaging. Black Friday is not just about big sales-signs, but also about sustainability. #golf #blackfriday #sustainability

Our crowdfunding campaign started one week ago - and we need your support for the the remaining 91 % of our target. We believe that in golf - as in other sports - the community can work together for the good of all.
We want to create a free training programme for golf clubs and golfers on golf and sustainability in English and German. Added value for everyone - if many people help together. Golf is not just about business - it's also about a sustainable future.

👨‍🎓 What does rough maintenance on German

👨‍🎓 What does rough maintenance on German golf courses have to do with the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg? Quite a bit, as it turned out last week, when the ECJ ruled that the Federal Republic of Germany was not sufficiently fulfilling its obligation to protect lowland meadows.

⛳ The situation is different on Germany's golf courses: Here, the issue of developing species-rich meadows has been in the spotlight for years. The best example of best practice is the Golf Club Freiburg, which has developed and now boasts several hectares of such lowland meadows in the FFH area. In the Bavarian Golf Association, experts from LBV - Landesbund für Vogel- und Naturschutz in Bayern assess the quality of meadows as part of the Bavarian Flowering Pact with the Bavarian Ministry for Environment.

🌱 Developing high-quality areas for biodiversity remains the most critical opportunity for golf to score positive points with its enormous areas outside fairways and greens. Anyone who believes that the efforts of individual clubs play no role in the big picture is mistaken.

You can see that the value of meadows has already been a case for Europe's highest court for administrative law.

😀 Here we go: Our first crowdfunding campaign starts today.

⛳ The project: The webinar series “Vision 2050” with four webinars for download and two live sessions. Both will be offered in English and German.

🥇 Our goal: We want to make it easy and free of charge for golf clubs and golfers to get started with the topic of sustainability.

💡 And here is the link to our crowdfunding project.

Golf Sustainable is independent and has no adverti

Golf Sustainable is independent and has no advertising or cooperation partners from the commercial sector. This is important - because it is the only way to produce good, objective journalism.
Nevertheless, Golf Sustainable has to be financed: technical costs, our small staff, and production costs. We manage all this with the support of some golf associations and private individuals who believe in sustainability.
💡 We are now launching into the world of crowdfunding together with Fairplaid, the only and largest German service provider for crowdfunding in sport.
⛳ Our project: Golf Sustainable is creating the Vision 2050 webinar series for download and two live webinars on the basics of sustainability in golf.
They are intended to give golfers, golf clubs, managers, and other interested parties the opportunity to learn about the topic in an uncomplicated and, ideally, cost-free way.
👨‍🎓 Only knowledge makes competent decisions possible. The lower the cost and entry hurdle, the easier this will be.
🙏 We hope to realize this project with your help. The beauty of crowdfunding is that every small or large amount helps.
Our first crowdfunding campaign starts on Wednesday. We keep you updated about the details then. I am very excited about the premiere and hope for your support.

It was probably the worst case of flooding on a European golf course in 2024: the three courses at the Diamond Country Club in Austria were two meters underwater after a dam burst in September. Now, 22 hectares of fairways and ten greens must be resurfaced with turf to ensure top quality on the main course in April. A classic case of climate impact costs.

Swiss Golf was one of the first golf federations with a sustainability strategy in 2020. How did the implementation work? We met Alicia Moulin, Sustainability Manager for Swiss Golf in Lausanne, and talked about challenges and success stories.

Social #sustainability should be an important part

Social #sustainability should be an important part of all #sports programs. The @livgolf_league is the first one to support refugee programs, a courageous step considering how negatively the refugee issue is often discussed in the public.

We all know the need for data. In golf, the main problem is that there is hardly any anonymized data on water and pesticide use. As a result, the sport can sometimes appear opaque and untrustworthy to the public and authorities.

Anyone who takes a closer look at a research paper of Michael Bekken, from NIBIO Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research and University of Wisconsin-Madison and other scientists on the pesticide risk in the USA and various European countries will find that
📍 the pesticide risk was exceptionally high in the USA
📍 the willingness to provide transparent data was far lower than in other regions of Europe.

What is the golf industry's future vision? Transparency and reducing pesticide use are positive options. The research paper shows they are already being implemented in parts of Europe, especially Denmark.

The question remains: How do we get the whole industry on board?

Who is our main enemy?
This is a question sometimes asked by greenkeepers, board members or golfers.
Golf doesn't have enemies, but it is surrounded by other stakeholders who may set rules, install laws, have demands, or have different opinions. Stakeholder management is a daily business in every successful company.
It is important to remember two facts:
1. Golf is always in the minority because even in countries like the USA, about 90 % of the population doesn't play golf.
2. No golf club is an island, self-determined and free to do whatever it wants.
Conclusion: This is the time of collaboration. Don't talk about enemies, but potential partners.

Floodings in Austria, Germany, the UK, and now North Carolina, Florida and Georgia have caused enormous damage to many golf courses. What happens to the grass? How long can it survive? These are questions we asked Trygve S. Aamlid from the NIBIO Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, an expert on turfgrass a#turfgrass.

What happens to a lost golf ball? It may well remain in the ground somewhere for years. A plastic problem is waiting for a solution. It's good to see that Srixon is making progress in the production of a more sustainable ball. For the first time, the cover of a ball is made of biomaterial.

The travel of fans and players is the biggest problem when it comes to the CO2 footprint of golf events. Now, the European Tours Group has introduced a carbon tracker for the players. A step in the right direction. Hopefully, players will use it.

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.

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
