At The Greenside

At the Greenside is a blog page ran by Mr. Rick Munro. He is a former golf superintendent with 20 years experience who is currently the environmental coordinator at several golf courses. He is a huge supporter of the environmental movement and supports golf courses becoming Audubon Certified. I really enjoy his blog because his posts cover a wide range of environmental topics like the benefits of dead trees to the wild life. They provide a habitat for wild life to live on the golf course. He also talks about creating areas on the golf course around the water with buffer zones for wild animals to feed and have a sanctuary as long as it is safe for the humans. He is trying to get the word out that most superintendents are working with the environment on their golf courses and he is trying to change the beliefs that the golf courses just take from the environment with no worries about the damage. I definitely think this is the way of the future. Golf course superintendents will be concentrating on keeping our natural environment and still provide a beautiful golf course. I encourage anyone interested in preserving our environment in our work with turfgrass to definitely check out this blog.
