In this TurfNet University webinar presented by Lebanon Turf, golf course architect Dave Zinkand of Zinkand Golf Design will discuss innovative practices that promote eco-friendly golf courses. Learn how to reduce environmental impacts, promote biodiversity, and implement water conservation techniques to create more sustainable golf courses.
The presenter will share valuable insights on creating strategic, playable courses that harmonize with their natural setting. Zinkand's approach highlights the best attributes of a property by using its natural elements to assure artistry, playability and strategy are advanced on the ground. He will provide experience-based knowledge with strategies adopted during his time spent on the Dreer Awards in Great Britain, his early career at Coore & Crenshaw, and recent projects like Sharon Golf Club (OH), Desert Forest Golf Club (AZ) and Monterey Peninsula Country Club (CA). Zinkand will demonstrate how the industry can elevate the beauty and ecological value of golf courses to enhance both the golfing experience and environmental stewardship.
This webinar is designed for golf course superintendents committed to environmental responsibility, elevating aesthetics and adopting ecologically sensitive practices. By integrating sustainability into golf course design, superintendents can contribute to a healthier game and environment.
