The Sustainable Sport Book

136 PAGE EDITION BOOK (Available in hardbound or soft cover)

SIGNED BY FORREST L. RICHARDSON

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
