  • How to Save a Golf Course While Preserving the Course Character and Incorporating Golf Sustainability Best Practices

    How to Save a Golf Course While Preserving the Course Character and Incorporating Golf Sustainability Best Practices
    Jan 12 2024

    Here to explain how it’s possible to create an environmentally conscious golfing experience while enhancing safety and making the golf course more sustainable is Tom Coyne, Author and Owner of Sullivan County Golf Club, a 180-acre, nine-hole course in the Catskills.

    Tom takes us through his significant course renovation including sodding the entire course using a mix of grass strains reflective of its century-long history. His commitment to responsible land management, combined with the use of organic inputs from partners like Toro and AquaTrols, sets the stage for low-impact golfing.

    The episode is not just about revitalizing a golf course; it's about creating a haven where golfers, families, and food enthusiasts converge to enjoy a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and exceptional experiences.

    • Differences in golf sustainability views between the U.S. and Europe (03:00 - 08:00)
    • Challenges faced by Sullivan County Golf Club and the importance of sustainability in maintaining golf courses (08:00 - 15:00)
