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.
