ASGCA names nine courses as Environmental Excellence Award winners
The American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) recently named its Environmental Excellence Awards winners presented by Ewing Outdoor Supply.
“This is an impressive array of projects illustrating the good work being done for the benefit of golfers and the environment,” ASGCA President Mike Benkusky said. “The more than two dozen facilities that have been recognized since this program began are a testament to the combined efforts of architects, owners, course managers and superintendents. And Ewing Outdoor Supply has been there to support the program since the start.”
The ASGCA introduced the program in 2019 to recognize innovative work at golf facilities to address environmental needs. A panel of golf industry and environmental leaders, including representatives of the GEO Foundation, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and National Golf Course Owners Association, reviewed the submissions and selected winners.
