Water Security ‑ Is perhaps the single greatest challenge to your club's future growth

For some golf clubs too much and too dirty water are as big a challenge as too little i.e. drought. Threats to your club's water security come from many quarters; new environmental legislation, growing population, increasing demand for water to grow food, industry, and to produce our energy. Throw in the unpredictable risks of climate change and tighter environmental requirements ‑ the question is: How will these changes affect your club's business, day‑to‑day operation, customer experience and future growth?

This class offers practical advice on how to identify the environmental sustainability risks your club faces and offers cost effective solutions, to help your club plan for a water poor future.
