Environmental Sustainability in Golf

The coveted Environmental Leaders in Golf Awards (ELGAs) recognise golf superintendents’ role in four categories of environmental sustainability.

“The ELGA winners are shining examples of how golf course superintendents can combine enjoyable playing conditions and sustainable practices. We applaud each of you for your commitment to environmental sustainability,” said GCSAA CEO Rhett Evans.

The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and Golf Digest, in partnership with Syngenta, will give recognition to four ELGA winners at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in Orlando from 6 – 9 Feb 2023.
