–

Attack-Statements By Golf.Com ?  ―   

–

–

It is unsettling that the activist-publishers of golf.com would demand that the golf industry must adopt costly, failed, incorrect, medieval, & unproven maintenance practices, such as « organic », that are clearly anti-golf-industry. 

–

Golf course pesticide use is a bad thing, according to attack-statements by golf.com. 

–

It is inconceivable that golf.com would accuse pesticide-using superintendents of acting like « minions » of the so-called chemical industry. 

–

It further is inconceivable that golf.com would conspire to impose prohibition against pest control products needed by the golf industry. 

–

It is NOT the role of golf.com to dictate its policies to the golf industry  ―  its mindless-activist attack-statements must end. 

–

Has golf.com betrayed the golf industry ? 

–

–

–

Correct Maintenance Practices  ―  

–

–

ALL correct & disciplined main-stream golf course superintendents are professionals who are paid to take care of golf courses by following maintenance protocols & performance standards, which are based upon REAL scientific research. 

–

These protocols & performance standards must NOT involve the use of medieval & ineffective practices that DO NOT WORK, such as  …  

–

•   Environmental Impact Quotient ( EIQ )  ―  Failure

–

•   Go Brown anti-cosmetic golf maintenance  ―  Failure  

–

•   Fertilizer nutrient reduction  ―  Failure  

–

•   Integrated Pest Management practices ( IPM )  ―  Failure  

–

•   Minimal levels for sustainable nutrition  ―  Failure  

–

•   Organic pesticide-free maintenance  ―  Failure  

–

•   Self-imposing restrictions & prohibitions against pesticides  ―  Failures  

–

•   Switching to ineffective green alternative pesticides  ―  Failures. 

–

–

–

Medieval Maintenance Practices  ―  

–

–

« Organic » maintenance inflicts EXORBITANT COSTS. 

–

Without conventional pest control products, « organic » golf courses will become infested with recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects & harmful diseases  …  unless staggering & unlimited amounts of money are wasted on discouraged pest-picking labour & medieval & ineffective practices, like at the infamous Vineyard Golf Club. 

–

Who can afford this #@!!% « organic » nonsense ?!?! 

–

It is impossible to control weeds & insects & diseases by relying on inferior & more hazardous green alternative pesticides. 

–

If the attacks by golf-hating activist-extremists are successful, superintendents will be forced to adopt costly, failed, incorrect, radical, & unproven maintenance practices, such as « organic » as well as « pesticide-free » & « IPM » & other medieval & ineffective practices, that will regress their pest control practices by 100 years. 

–

Main-stream superintendents must strike back & respond against medieval & ineffective « organic » maintenance practices concocted by golf-hating anti-pesticide activist-extremists. 

–

–

–

Critical Issues  ―  

–

–

The golf industry’s superintendents must recognize that they are on a collision course with the looming shipwreck of golf-hating & anti-pesticide extremism. 

–

Even though they enjoy exception statuses from municipal or provincial pesticide bans, superintendents face some huge challenges because of their high degree of vulnerability concerning several public affairs issues. 

–

In order to successfully deter the malicious efforts of all mindless attacks against their golf facilities, several critical issues must immediately be addressed  ―  see link below. 

–

–

–

There Are No Uncertainties About Pesticides  ―  

–

–

There are NO worries & NO uncertainties with pest control products. 

–

National regulatory agencies, world-wide, have found that pest control products DO NOT present risks of concern to human health or the environment when correctly used according to label directions.

Attacks Against The Golf Industry

–

–

–

It is impossible for golf course superintendents to maintain high-quality playing conditions & aesthetics by relying upon « organic », « pesticide-free », & « IPM » & other costly & medieval & ineffective maintenance practices.

Human health & the environment are NOT at risk from pesticides.

It is apparent that non-expert golf-hating anti-pesticide activist-extremists who use attack-statements against pesticides have NO recognized expertise, NO training, & NO background in these matters.

Golf-hating extremists use several attack-statements designed to coerce, intimidate, & terrжrize golf course superintendents.

Attack-statements are also designed to alarm & enrage the public into prohibiting pest control products used in the urban landscape & by the golf industry.

Here are some examples of attack-statements regarding golf courses & pest control products  ―

The use of the statement « Cocktails Of Pesticides » represents a passive-aggressive attack against golf superintendents & their facilities.

Superintendents are professionals who are trained & certified on the issue of pesticide application.

Superintendents are professionals who have trained for hundreds of hours on pesticide applications  ―  they do not use « Cocktails Of Pesticides ».

Nor do they use products that will cause harm or will cause cancer.

The use of the statement « Cancer-Causing » represents an aggressive attack against golf superintendents & their facilities.

Pesticides causing cancer is a myth.

The use of the statement « Responsible Golf » also represents an aggressive attack against golf superintendents & their facilities.

Clearly, « Responsible Golf » is an attack that implies that superintendents are somehow irresponsible, especially with pesticides.

Additionally, trade association doctrines represent attacks against golf superintendents & their facilities.

« Go Brown » anti-cosmetic golf maintenance & « Fertilizer Nutrient Reduction » are statements that are loathsome attacks by trade associations & their doctrines against golf superintendents & their facilities.

Golf facilities are also attacked with the statement « The Augusta National Syndrome », which is perceived to fuel an environmentally destructive loop, in which golf courses are held to unreasonably high standards requiring more pesticides & more fertilizers.

It is clear that golf superintendents can simply attempt to aspire towards the standards for perfection known as « The Augusta Effect ».

Golf superintendents must defend their industry from hundreds & hundreds of lethal attacks, whatever the cost may be.

Finally, it is inconceivable that « Activist-Publishers » at golf.com, the digital edition of Golf Magazine, would directly attack the golf industry with its publication.

Everyone needs to invalidate the attacks by « Activist-Publishers » at golf.com, which are ill-conceived, vague, & / or treacherous criticisms against the golf industry & its pesticide use.

Golf.com’s mindless-activist attacks must end, forever.

Background Information

–

ATTACKS AGAINST THE GOLF INDUSTRY  ― 

–

–

The use of the term « COCKTAIL  OF PESTICIDES » represents a PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE ATTACK-STATEMENT against golf superintendents & their facilities by golf-hating anti-pesticide « ACTIVIST-EXTREMISTS ». 

–

Golf course superintendents & their technicians are professionals who have trained for hundreds & hundreds of hours on the issue of pesticide application. 

–

These superintendents are also certified for pesticide use by state, provincial, & local authorities. 

–

If the ATTACKS by « ACTIVIST-EXTREMISTS » are successful, superintendents will be forced to adopt « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » & other MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE maintenance practices that will REGRESS their pest control practices by 100 years. 

–

Golf superintendents must defend their industry from HUNDREDS & HUNDREDS OF ATTACK-STATEMENTS, whatever the cost may be.

The Use Of The Term « Cancer » By Golf.Com
Represents An Aggressive Attack Against
Golf Superintendents & Their Facilities

–

Pesticides Causing Cancer Is A Myth

–

–

–

ATTACK-STATEMENTS BY GOLF.COM  ―  

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  Pesticides have OBSCURE LONG-TERM EFFECTS  [ I.E. CANCER ?!?!?!?! ] , which can complicate evaluations. 

–

Instead of a long-term analysis, Life-Cycle Assessment ( LCA ) may instead be limited in scope  ―  for example, manufacture phase or five years of use. 

–

These limitations only further the argument for « ORGANIC PESTICIDE-FREE GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE », a space in which LCA can be used to compare « ORGANIC » inputs to one another. 

–

Background Information

–

THE MYTH OF CANCER  ― 

–

–

Contrary to what pesticide-hating extremists lie about, there are NO pest control products that are known or probable carcinogens. 

–

Pesticides causing cancer is a myth. 

–

Prohibiting these products will prevent virtually NO cancer-deaths. 

–

Pest control products are nowhere near a leading cause of cancer-death, & there is NO chance that they will make you die of cancer.

PESTICIDE SAFETY  ― 

–

–

–

It Is Inconceivable That Golf.Com
Would Directly Attack Superintendents
& Their Use Of Pesticides

–

Superintendents Are Professionals
Who Are Trained & Certified On
The Issue Of Pesticide Application

–

–

–

ATTACK-STATEMENTS BY GOLF.COM  ―  

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  It is also the consensus that PESTICIDES ARE SAFE, IF APPLIED CORRECTLY.  [ !!!!!! ] 

–

The second half of this claim is key. 

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  Even according to industry representatives, there is a fine line between  —  as architect Mike Hurdzan told Golf Digest in 2008  —  pesticides as medicine [ ?!?! ] and pesticides as poison [ ?!?! ] . 

–

–

–

–

Background Information

–

HURDZAN IS NOT COMPETENT  ― 

–

–

Hurdzan has NO competent background, NO training, & NO expertise on matters concerning pest control products. 

–

–

–

Background Information

–

PESTICIDES ARE PROPERLY APPLIED ON THE GOLF COURSE  ― 

–

–

Golf course superintendents & their technicians are professionals who have trained for hundreds & hundreds of hours on the issue of pesticide application. 

–

These superintendents are also certified for pesticide use by state, provincial, & local authorities. 

–

Whenever « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » & other MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE maintenance practices are adopted, there is no longer a need to employ superintendents & technicians with professional training  ―  all they need to know how to do is bend over & pull or scoop. 

–

They will be forced to perform back-breaking manual weed-picking, which is MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE. 

–

In fact, manual weed-picking is a form of employee abuse by subjecting a labour force into a group of mere weed-pickers who are forced to remove hundreds-of-thousands of weed pests manually. 

–

Clearly, « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » & other  maintenance practices are MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE & DISMAL FAILURES.

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  Why is golf course pesticide use a BAD THING ?

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  In short, a number of studies have shown associations between pesticides used on golf courses and various cancers [ WRONG ! ] , and pesticides can also be detrimental to environmental health [ WRONG ! ] , pollute untargeted ecosystems [ WRONG ! ] , and contribute to biodiversity loss [ WRONG ! ] . 

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  Non-use is also valuable, according to the [ INVALIDATED ] PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE  ―  if there is no evidence that the safety of pesticides is absolute, which there is not [ THEY WILL CAUSE NO HARM ] , then their use is inherently risky [ WRONG ! ] .

INVALIDATED PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE  ― 

–

–

As everyone knows, relying upon the « PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE » is WORTHLESS. 

–

Better safe than sorry ?!?! 

–

Really ?!?! 

–

The sacred so-called « PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE » is also known as the DO-NOTHING principle. 

–

Those that DO NOTHING need not worry about ever taking a risk or ever making a mistake. 

–

The « PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE » was intended for use where SCIENCE DOES NOT EXIST. 

–

Unfortunately, the « PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE » is MIS-USED to serve the ambitions of environmental & anti-pesticide extremists.

PESTICIDE-FREE IS A GOOD THING ?  ― 

–

–

–

It Is Unsettling That The « Activist-Publishers » At
Golf.Com Would Demand That The Golf Industry
Must Adopt Costly, Failed, Incorrect, Medieval,
& Ineffective Maintenance Practices, Such As
« Organic », That Are Clearly Anti-Golf-Industry

–

Vineyard Golf Club Is The Only « Organic »
& « Pesticide-Free »  Golf Course In America

–

–

–

ATTACK-STATEMENTS BY GOLF.COM  ―  

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  The good news is that pesticide-free golf does exist [ … IT PRACTICALLY DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL ] . 

–

A truly « ORGANIC » golf course is maintained without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers  —  no artificial chemical treatments allowed. 

–

Following this rule requires adopting [ MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE ] practices that, while proven, still rely on experimentation, investment, and time. 

–

« ORGANIC » golf is complex and easily over-simplified [ & WILL NEVER WORK ].

–

–

–

–

Background Information

–

MEDIEVAL MAINTENANCE PRACTICES WILL NOT CONTROL PESTS  ― 

–

–

« ACTIVIST-EXTREMIST-SUPERINTENDENTS » falsely-allege that « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » & other practices will work, & can be used to successfully to manage golf courses. 

–

This is ridiculous & wrong. 

–

« ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » golf courses are forced to use practices that are outmoded, ancient, & CANNOT possibly control pests effectively & economically. 

–

They REGRESSED their maintenance practices by 100 years. 

–

The practices of « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » & others are MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE & WILL NEVER WORK. 

–

These practices WILL NEVER control infestations of recurring invasive weeds & destructive insects & harmful diseases. 

–

The golf industry must vigorously embark on a massive public relations campaign to DISCREDIT the « ACTIVIST-SUPERINTENDENTS » who embrace the MEDIEVAL practices of « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » maintenance.

LEAST TOXIC PROVIDES NO BENEFIT  ― 

–

–

The interpretations of « INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT » ( IPM ) provide NO BENEFIT & NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS with the use of simplistic messages like « USE LEAST TOXIC PESTICIDES AS A LAST RESORT » & « APPLY IT ONLY AS A LAST RESORT ». 

–

According to three scientific organizations  ―  Weed Science Society of America ( WSSA ), American Phytopathological Society ( APS ), & Plant-Insect Ecosystems Section of the Entomological Society of America ( P-IE ESA )  ―  these messages are NOT THE CORRECT APPROACHES to the pesticide component of an « INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT » ( IPM ) program.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT QUOTIENT ( EIQ )  ― 

–

–

–

Golf Courses Do Not Need
Additional « Protection » With EIQ

–

EIQ-Use Must Be Stopped, Forever

–

–

–

ATTACK-STATEMENTS BY GOLF.COM  ―  

–

Golf courses should view « ORGANIC » golf as the ultimate goal, but in the meantime there are plenty of steps they can take to incrementally REDUCE [ I.E. SELF-PROHIBIT PESTICIDE USE ] their reliance on synthetic pesticides. 

–

Like any other TRANSITION, the process should begin with an evaluation of a golf course’s current level of pesticide use to determine where IMPROVEMENTS [ I.E. SELF-PROHIBITIONS ] can be made. 

–

In 2021, Bekken and colleagues published a paper in Science of the Total Environment, named « A NOVEL FRAMEWORK FOR ESTIMATING AND ANALYZING PESTICIDE RISK ON GOLF COURSES » [ A.K.A. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT QUOTIENT ( EIQ ) ]. 

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  This report [ WRITTEN BY ANTI-PESTICIDE ACTIVIST-SCIENTISTS ] lays out a clear method of measuring the effect of pesticides; that can be a first step for any golf course that wants to REDUCE [ I.E. SELF-PROHIBIT ] their use. 

–

–

–

–

Background Information

–

EIQ MUST BE STOPPED  ― 

–

–

EIQ is a maintenance doctrine that is FAILED, UNPROVEN, INCORRECT, UNDISCIPLINED, & DOES NOT WORK.

–

« ACTIVIST-SCIENTISTS » at Cornell University & University of Wisconsin-Madison concocted the Environmental Impact Quotient ( EIQ ) as a misleading-measure of the relative impact of conventional pest control product ingredients on human health & the environment. 

–

The EIQ is actually LOWER for many conventional products than it is for many other mundane household items & « NATURAL » pest control product alternatives. 

–

For example, THE EIQ FOR SOAP IS HIGHER THAN THE EIQ FOR 2,4–D. 

–

Golf courses DO NOT need additional « PROTECTION » with EIQ. 

–

Human health & the environment are already PROTECTED by both Health Canada & US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ). 

–

These national regulatory agencies, & NOT EIQ-users, have the ESSENTIAL EXPERTISE & ULTIMATE CREDIBILITY on pest control products, which may only be registered for use after REAL expert-scientists have confirmed that they WILL NOT HARM human health & the environment. 

–

EIQ-users have conveniently considered the hundreds of REAL expert-scientists of Health Canada & US EPA to be incompetent & / or incapable of arriving at correct scientific conclusions concerning [ NO–HARM– ] pesticides. 

–

EIQ-use must be stopped, forever.

ATTACK-STATEMENTS BY GOLF.COM  ―

It is the [ GOLF ] industry consensus that PESTICIDE USE IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN A GOLF COURSE. 

–

In many ways, this is true  ―  there are a number of BARRIERS to « ORGANIC PESTICIDE-FREE GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE ».

That pressure comes, in part, from GOLFERS’ EXPECTATIONS for PRISTINE GOLF COURSE CONDITIONS [ I.E. HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS ] , which have never been higher.

GOLFERS TOLD TO PUT-UP & SHUT-UP  ― 

–

–

In other words, « ACTIVIST-PUBLISHERS » at golf.com seem to demand that the golf facility owners & their paying-golfers must SHUT UP, & that their EXPECTATIONS must be ENTIRELY LOWERED. 

–

Actually, it is NOT the role of golf.com to DICTATE EXPECTATIONS to the golf industry. 

–

A correct & disciplined main-stream superintendent is responsible to provide paying-golfers with HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS, at a minimum, on all putting greens. 

–

The « ACTIVIST-PUBLISHERS » at golf.com seem to entice superintendents to abandon their SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & CORRECT maintenance practices in favour of  « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » & other MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE doctrines.

Golf.com’s mindless-activist ATTACK-STATEMENTS must end, forever.

CORRECT MAINTENANCE PRACTICES  ― 

–

–

ALL superintendents must MEET the expectations of the paying customers by following published golf maintenance protocols & performance standards that are expected by paying-customers. 

–

So far, the golf industry has been ridiculously inconsistent in defining « HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS ». 

–

If it does not do so, outsiders, like « ACTIVIST-SCIENTISTS », will step in & design these standards & protocols for the industry. 

–

The PRIME golf maintenance protocols must be  ―  provide paying-golfers with HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS, at a minimum, on all putting greens. 

–

These superintendents must not abandon their SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & CORRECT maintenance practices in favour of « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » & « IPM » & other MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE doctrines.

THE AUGUSTA EFFECT  ― 

–

–

–

 There Can Only Be One « Perfect » Golf Course
―  The Famous Augusta National Golf Club

–

According To Attacks By Golf.Com  ―
« The Augusta National Syndrome Fuels An
Environmentally Destructive Loop, In Which Golf
Courses Are Held To Unreasonably High Standards »

–
Golf Course Superintendents Can Simply
Attempt To Aspire Towards The Standards For
Perfection Known As « The Augusta Effect »

–

–

–

ATTACK-STATEMENTS BY GOLF.COM  ―  

–

In their 2006 [ ANTI–GOLF ] study on the global environmental impact of golf, authors Kit Wheeler and John Nauright described the phenomenon « AUGUSTA NATIONAL SYNDROME ». 

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  The GOLFERS’ EXPECTATIONS for PRISTINE GOLF COURSE CONDITIONS [ I.E. HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS ] are fed by the SURREAL BRIGHT GREEN Augusta National Golf Club blasted in high definition to millions of viewers in April of every year. 

–

Sure, it’s The Masters Golf Tournament, but viewers figure that if one golf course can look like that, why can’t they all ? 

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  The « AUGUSTA NATIONAL SYNDROME » fuels an ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE LOOP, in which golf courses are held to UNREASONABLY HIGH STANDARDS and superintendents must increase inputs of water and chemicals to meet them. 

–

–

–

Background Information

–

AUGUSTA NATIONAL GOLF CLUB  ― 

–

–

In 1932, in the state of Georgia, the FAMOUS Augusta National Golf Club was designed & built by Donald Ross, Alister Mackenzie, & Bobby Jones Junior. 

–

In 1934, in Augusta, Georgia, Clifford Roberts & Bobby Jones founded the Augusta National Golf Club, which became the home of the US Masters Golf Tournament. 

–

It was originally called the Augusta Tournament. 

–

The golf course was superbly designed & conditioned with turfgrass playing surfaces. 

–

In contrast, many municipal courses on the Tour were played on cottonseed hull greens. 

–

Clearly, Augusta raised the standards for SCIENCE-BASED & TIME-TESTED & CORRECT maintenance practices. 

–

–

–

Background Information

–

THE AUGUSTA EFFECT A.K.A. THE AUGUSTA SYNDROME  ― 

–

–

The FAMOUS Augusta National Golf Club, located in Augusta, Georgia, is one of the most recognized golf facilities in the world.

–

Since 1934, Augusta has hosted the Masters Tournament, one of the four major championships in professional golf, & the only one played at the same golf course annually. 

–

Augusta spends millions of dollars every year to implement an elaborate & sophisticated program to ensure that the playing conditions & the aesthetics peak at an ultra-high level for the Masters. 

–

For a short time, Augusta is the least typical golf course on the planet. 

–

Golfers watch the Masters on TV & salivate over the standards of ULTRA-HIGH QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS & PERFECTION. 

–

These Augusta standards are known as « THE AUGUSTA EFFECT » or « THE AUGUSTA LOOK », especially during The Masters Tournament, which is traditionally golf’s first major championship of the year. 

–

Over the past 30 or 40 years especially, the maintenance staff at « THE PERFECT GOLF CLUB » has set the standards ULTRA-HIGH for golf course superintendents everywhere. 

–

These standards are unattainable for all but a very few. 

–

Actually, there can only be one « PERFECT GOLF CLUB ». 

–

Nonetheless, golf course superintendents can still attempt to aspire towards the standards for perfection known as « THE AUGUSTA EFFECT ». 

–

–

–

Background Information

–

AUGUSTA & VINEYARD ARE ONLY FOR ULTRA-WEALTHY ELITE GOLFERS  ― 

–

–

There is ONLY ONE « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » golf course in America, Vineyard Golf Club, in Martha’s Vineyard, USA. 

–

Consequently, Vineyard’s maintenance practices have REGRESSED by 100 years, & have inflicted EXORBITANT COSTS.

–

These practices WOULD HAVE NEVER WORKED, unless STAGGERING & UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF MONEY were provided by either government hand-outs & / or ultra-wealthy members. 

–

Who can afford this #@!!% « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » failure ?!?! 

–

Vineyard has utilized COSTLY & MEDIEVAL & INEFFECTIVE practices, such as  ―   •   killing weeds with boiling water   •   removing moss with kitchen dish detergent   •   manually removing pests with back-breaking & weed-picking labour   •   cleaning weeds from visitors’ shoes before entering the golf course. 

–

Sadly, only the ULTRA-WEALTHY ELITE GOLFERS at Vineyard are able to afford « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE », which would be FINANCIALLY-IMPOSSIBLE for most other main-stream golf courses. 

–

Vineyard is a private golf club  ―  290 regular-members must pay an initiation fee of 350,000-dollars with annual dues of 12,000-dollars. 

–

By comparison, initiation fees for Augusta National Golf Club costs between 100,000 & 300,000-dollars with annual dues of less than 30,000-dollars. 

–

Augusta is one of the most expensive golf facilities in the world  ―  & the least typical golf course on the planet  ―  with demands of ULTRA-HIGH QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS & PERFECTION. 

–

In essence, the revenues for both Augusta & Vineyard are COMPARABLE.

–

Both Augusta & Vineyard are only for the ULTRA-WEALTHY ELITE GOLFERS. 

–

As a condition of Vineyard’s original construction, 125 residents used environmental issues as a pretext for being accepted as island-members with NO initiation fee & with annual dues of only 400-dollars. 

–

The total annual revenue for Vineyard is 3,530,000-dollars, most of which is spent on its « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » failure.  

–

This would be FINANCIALLY-IMPOSSIBLE for most main-stream golf courses. 

–

In America, the average main-stream maintenance costs ranges from 500,000-dollars per year for a daily-fee public course to 1,000,000-dollars per year for a private club.

–

America’s main-stream golf facilities cannot afford this #@!!% « ORGANIC » & « PESTICIDE-FREE » failure !

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  In 2012, the GCSAA published survey results which indicated that 98 per cent of average 18-hole golf facilities stored pesticides on site, but only about 50 per cent had a PESTICIDE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN, only 41 per cent had a written [ & INEFFECTIVE ] IPM PLAN, and 66 per cent had a written PESTICIDE APPLICATION PLAN. 

–

[ ATTACK  ―  ]  A more recent study from the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Soil Science and Cornell’s School of Integrative Plant Science focused on 22 golf courses in Wisconsin and New York and found that on average, EIGHT PESTICIDES were used per golf course.

The primary responsibility of main-stream golf course superintendents is to ensure that the paying-golfer is provided with HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS, while remaining committed to environmentally-sustainable practices. 

–

What practices should superintendents actually worry about ?!??!

–

Some superintendents have faced some REAL WORLD CRITICAL ISSUES, such as  … 

–

–

–

VIOLATIONS OF PESTICIDE LAWS  ― 

–

A British Columbia ( BC ) Ministry of the Environment report has indicated that the majority of golf courses are massively violating provincial pesticide laws & are overwhelmingly non-compliant with BC’s Amended IPM Regulations. 

–

Why bother with legal pesticide laws when you can lie & cheat. 

–

–

–

VIOLATIONS OF LABEL DIRECTIONS  ― 

–

–

In North Carolina, horrific fines are now being imposed specifically against golf course superintendents, who have been found in violation of state law because of the illegal applications of pest control products. 

–

Superintendents defied the label directions at Leopard’s Chase Golf Course, Lion’s Paw Golf Course, & Panther Run Golf Course.

Predictably, golfers DO NOT want to play on brown depressing unplayable golf courses. 

–

These paying-golfers demand HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS ACHIEVED BY THICKER, GREENER, PEST-FREE, & MANICURED TURF.

Golf Course Superintendents Association of America ( GCSAA ) is also INFAMOUS with its doctrine of ARBITRARY REDUCTION OF NUTRIENTS. 

–

GCSAA has self-designated itself as the critic against correct & disciplined main-stream golf course superintendents & their management practices.

GO BROWN BY USGA  ― 

–

–

« GO BROWN » is an anti-cosmetic golf course maintenance doctrine that is spreading throughout the golf industry. 

–

Golf-hating extremists want « GO BROWN » golf courses that are PEST-INFESTED & UNPLAYABLE GARBAGE DUMPS.

« ACTIVIST-USGA-EXTREMISTS » falsely-allege that « GO BROWN » is better for the environment [ WRONG ! ] , requires fewer inputs [ WRONG ! ] , saves money [ WRONG ! ] , & plays better [ WRONG ! ] . 

–

The golf industry must oppose the USGA’s « GO BROWN ».

Golfers DO NOT want to play on brown depressing unplayable courses. 

–

Golfers demand HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS & AESTHETICS ACHIEVED BY THICKER, GREENER, PEST-FREE, & MANICURED TURF.

NUTRIENT REDUCTION BY GCSAA & OTHERS  ― 

–

–

The golf industry’s correct & disciplined main-stream superintendents are being DUPED by « ACTIVIST-EXTREMISTS » who operate in INFAMOUS trade associations, such as  ―   •   Golf Course Superintendents Association of America ( GCSAA )   •   National Golf Foundation ( NGF )   •   PACE Turf Information Service   •   United States Golf Association ( USGA ). 

–

In essence, these trade associations are infested by left-wing fertilizer-hating « ACTIVIST-EXTREMISTS » who conspire to ARBITRARILY IMPOSE « FERTILIZER NUTRIENT REDUCTION » in the golf industry. 

–

These associations may, perhaps unwittingly, obliterate all golf facilities with doctrines like « FERTILIZER NUTRIENT REDUCTION ».

–

Some of these trade associations have also attempted to impose another FALSE & ARBITRARY DOCTRINE, « GO BROWN » anti-cosmetic golf course maintenance, based on the false assumption that brown turf requires fewer inputs, saves money, is better for the environment, & plays better.  [ ?!?!?!?! ]  

–

Why have these trade associations self-designated themselves as critics against correct & disciplined main-stream golf course superintendents & their fertilizer management practices ?!?!

–

These trade associations, & their FALSE & ARBITRARY DOCTRINES, will quickly doom the golf industry’s superintendents, who will become unable to manage their facilities without essential, YES ESSENTIAL, fertilizer nutrients.

–

Golf facilities that adopt « FERTILIZER NUTRIENT REDUCTION » become victims of RECEIVERSHIP & BANKRUPTCY, & / or become UNPLAYABLE GARBAGE DUMPS THAT LOOK DEAD.

–

Golf course superintendents ( & turf managers ) must OPPOSE these extremist trade associations that are NOT competent to assess fertilizers. 

–

The « ACTIVIST-EXTREMISTS » within these trade associations have absolutely NO expertise regarding the assessment of essential fertilizer nutrients. 

–

Moreover, these « ACTIVIST-EXTREMISTS » are spreading FALSE & MISLEADING DOCTRINES against the use of essential fertilizer nutrients, contradicting decades of research, & proving that they have absolutely NO expertise regarding soil science & ⁄ or essential nutrient management.

Fertilizers used by the golf industry are safe for the environment.
