2008 TOCA Environmental Communicator of the Year presented to allied golf associations of Colorado

Golf has long been known as an enjoyable leisure activity, but thanks to a concerted effort from members of the golf industry, the public is now learning that the game delivers considerable economic, environmental and recreational benefits to communities.

Among the first groups to communicate the positive attributes of golf was a consortium of the allied golf associations of Colorado, which based its campaign on the self-funded study: Golf in Colorado – An Independent Study of the Economic Impact and Environmental Aspects of Golf in Colorado.

For its efforts, the allied golf associations of Colorado have been selected as the recipient of the 2008 Turf & Ornamental Communicators Association (TOCA) Environmental Communicator of the Year award. Sponsored by Project EverGreen, the honor was presented at the TOCA annual meeting in Minneapolis, Minn., earlier this month.
