Green Golf:
The US Golf Association has been a leader in promoting turfgrass research, beginning in 1920 with its first collaboration with the US Department of Agriculture to develop improved turfgrass. Today, golf courses respond to environmental concerns by using species in roughs that require less mowing, planting buffers for waterways, and incorporating grasses for wildlife habitat. In heavily developed areas, golf courses serve an important function by providing green space for stormwater management and groundwater recharge. |
