Forrest Richardson’s long career designing golf courses has given him a deep perspective on how golf is perceived across the world.
In The Sustainable Sport, he sheds light on just how much of our Earth has been used for golf — and what that use means for world economies, human socialization and the environment.
He puts forth a balanced and honest look at why some people view the sport in such a positive light, while others take such a negative perspective.
Facts rule as he explains Earth’s water cycle, what gets sprayed on golf courses and how golf has led the charge for better practices in managing turf. There’s a peek into the future and a list of all things good that golf has brought to the world during its nearly 600 year history.
In The Sustainable Sport you’ll have a rich account of what golf has done to create a truly sustainable pastime. Chapters cover the history of sustainable concepts, a geometry lesson in the global footprint of golf courses, social benefits, the golf economy, water conservation and the move toward organic course management
