Avoid surface runoff of fungicides from golf greens - article
|
|
|
|
A new article about the project on how to avoid surface runoff and leaching of fungicides from golf greens. Results from the project show little risk for contamination of the environment as long as the greens have a good infiltration capacity and surface runoff is avoided. The results emphasize the importance of strict compliance with the prescribed buffer zone distance to open water when spraying fungicides on golf greens, especially shortly before the winter seasons.

Outdoor classroom - handbook
|
|
|
|
Golf courses could contribute to better teaching by offering a variety of green surfaces for outdoor teaching. This gives opportunities to vary learning environments that complement the indoor classroom as the site of teaching activity. This inspirational handbook (in Swedish) describes experiences, ideas and practical activities that can be used in everyday teaching outdoors. Based on the project: "Go outdoors and use the Golf area in a pedagogical way – creativity, learning and health in the unlimited classroom".
