Toro presented a usd. 50,000 check to GCSAA CEO Steve Mona, CAE, and Bill Kubly, chairman of The Institutes board of trustees at the Golf Industry Show in Anaheim, Calif. The Golf Course Environmental Profile project is designed to collect information that will allow superintendents and other facility personnel to become better managers, help them operate more efficiently and lead to GCSAA developing more valuable programs and services. Such information will include details about playing surfaces, natural resources, environmental stewardship efforts and maintenance practices on the golf course. Throssell indicated the data are still being analyzed from the first two phases and the first comprehensive report of the first two phases will appear in a peer-reviewed scientific journal this year. www.worldgolf.com

The facts about water are the following, using Birds Golf Course Construction Manual, a most authoritative textbook, it takes 1,000,000 US gallons a week for summer time irrigation of a southern USA 18-hole course, which translates into 500 metric tons of water a day. Multiplied by 200 days per annum equals 100,000 tons for each served course. In the interests of conservatism, one can reasonably double that figure. Therefore to water the 14 golf courses, assuming they do not use either bracken or desalinated water, would mean diverting to golf courses 2. 8 million tons or 1. 5 per cent of the water allocated to agriculture, the largest consumer of water in Cyprus. www.cyprus-mail.com

This article hit the nail on the head. I started playing golf at PLGC when I was thirteen. I dont come from a rich family, and I have never been under the impression that one needs to be rich to play golf. We have some fine golf courses in Moorhead, where I now reside, but each year I bring a couple of golf buddies to the wonderful course in Fergus, and they always come away from it impressed. Mr. Odden and his staff have developed PLGC into one of the finest courses in the area, public or private. Keep up the good work. www.fergusfallsjournal.com
Since opening in 2001, Camp Creek has been consistently cited as one of Tom Fazios most thought-provoking, aesthetically-stunning design credits. Featuring a unique dunescape appearance, the course was created as a private club for property owners at select St. Joe communities, and guests of St. Joes WaterColor and WaterSound Beach resorts. From the back green tees, the course plays to a championship caliber yardage of 7,159 and a formidable slope rating of 145. Camp Creeks five-tee configuration, which also includes gold (senior) and red (womens) tees, accommodates players of all skill and experience levels. Travel + Leisure Golf recently recognized Camp Creek as Floridas No. 1 Course of the New Millennium. It has also been recognized for its environmental stewardship through designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative www.worldgolf.com

Pete Dye has not altered the nature of the course. He has just fine-tuned it to make it better. While its eminently playable to the average resort guest, it remains extremely challenging to even the most seasoned pro. In fact, Golf Digest magazine recently named it "Americas Toughest Course" in their issue. For tournaments, it can be ratcheted up even further by shrinking the fairways, hardening and speeding up the greens and lengthening it to its tips (an agonizing, mind-numbing, 7,937 yards). The Ocean Course can handle all the spring-effect and multi-layer solid core balls modern technology can throw at it. www.worldgolf.com
