Environmentall Friendly Golf Guide

Earth Day led to a few interesting posts yesterday and sorry to say I'm only now getting to them

The gang at Links Magazine offers the first ever list of best environmentally friendly courses.

Finally a ranking that actually serves a purpose!

And at the USGA's official site, Mike Kenna pens a brief history of the Green Section's environmental efforts. Also included are links to a nice variety of green-related stories.

NSCC?????????????????????????????????

This list is horrible.

Ahhh...is there ever a list that isn't controversial?

Why is North Shore a horrible choice? Most of the courses on the list have been cited in previous stories for their efforts, though there were a couple of nice surprises.

Because there is no more "environmentally sensitive area" remaining...they turned it into a short game practice area! The course is on a tight piece of land and is mowed from fence to fence with a million trees overhanging the fairways.

You must be thinking of North Shore in NY. You can't be talking about the one on the list near Chicago. Take a look at the Google Earth link and you'll see an amazing array of things going on.

Are these courses self-nominated?

Young Man-

You must be smoking the wacky tabbacy if you think NSCC in GLENVIEW IL is environmentally positive.

[Whiffed]

Enviromental course? What the hell?

Is the course fun? Well-built? Who the hell cares about its enviromental value?

It's been weeks since I smoked the wacky tabbacy, okay, days, but have you been to NSCC? Did you see the Google Earth link?
