Common Myths About Sustainability In Golf

Myth: sustainable means scruffy

Good sustainability in golf can still produce excellent playing surfaces. Firm, healthy turf often creates more interesting golf than overwatered softness.

Myth: golfers have no role

Pitch-mark repair, divot care, cart choices, and respect for roped areas all affect water use, turf health, native areas, wildlife, and golfer habits.

Myth: it is only about water

Water matters, but sustainability in golf also includes habitat, energy, maintenance budgets, waste, and long-term playability.
