The Wisconsin Golf Course Superintendents Association (WGCSA) and golf industry stakeholders have collaborated to develop the “Wisconsin Golf Industry Best Management Practices Guide”. The WGCSA and Northern Great Lakes (NGL) chapter of the GCSA are comprised of dedicated agronomists, golf maintenance professionals, industry partners, and educators who are responsible for the maintenance and sustainability of these golf courses throughout the state. The NGL represents members in the Northwoods area of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. The guide covers BMPs ranging from design and construction to pesticide management to water quality and wildlife protection. Industry leaders worked together to create the document, in collaboration with Radius Sports Group, a sustainability consulting firm. The National Planning Guide was developed by the GCSAA and USGA, in partnership with the PGA Tour; funded through the EIFG.
