What are golf's potential

environmental impacts?

  • Pollution of ground water and surface water caused by the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and other contaminants

  • Poor stream water quality due to eroding shorelines

  • Withdrawal of large quantities of water for irrigation

  • Degradation or loss of natural areas

  • Health hazards from chemical handling and applications

  • Negative impacts of chemical use on “non-target” wildlife

  • Unsound turf management driven by increasing and unrealistic golfer expectations and demands
