Utilizing Best Management Practices to Drive Sustainability at Your Facility and Advocate for Golf’s Future

Golf course superintendents in New Hampshire are professional land managers entrusted to protect the environment and communities the property lies within.  Regulatory requirements create a framework superintendents must abide by.  The Best Management Practices (BMP) for New Hampshire Golf Courses, a voluntary initiative of the New Hampshire Golf Course Superintendents Association (NHGCSA), provides a comprehensive document developed by experts, and vetted by your peer superintendents, that can help foster the sustainability of our industry.

This presentation will discuss:

A brief history of the BMP initiative.

  With rapidly changing regulations, our industry needs to better communicate golf’s positive environmental impact.  BMPs are the language of regulators.

A walk through the document, highlighting the integration of current regulatory protocols.

The BMP document serves as a conduit to access vital regulatory information and offers industry expert recommended best practices to further enhance your environmental efforts.

Benefits to you and your golf course, specifically the impact on the sustainability triangle of people, planet, and profit.

o   From the minute the door opens at your maintenance facility the goal is to offer a safe environment for staff and golfers, the community at large, and the environment.  This comprehensive document helps superintendents in New Hampshire tell that story.

Finally, how to build your own facility BMP in GCSAA’s online tool.

The regulatory world continues to evolve.  The efforts of NHGCSA members in building a facility BMP will be a critical tool for future success.  Will you have one?

Join me and see how the BMPs for New Hampshire Golf Courses and a facility BMP document can become a vital building block to communicate and elevate your environmentally positive efforts to stakeholders including those in golf, within your community, and the regulatory arena.
