Golfdom, October 2011
IT HAPPENED AGAIN just last month In an article about golf courses in Fast Company the editors couldnt resist the easy target describing golf as water guzzling and pesticide laden in a headline The irony is if readers got past the headline they would have discovered that the article was mostly about the positive things that courses are doing for the environment these days Its almost comical how golf is unfairly chastised Its like the old professional wrestling shtick As soon as the referee turns his back thats when the good guy gets hit with the folding chair But in our world its not the wrestler whos getting smacked with the chair its us This month Golfdom challenges the court of public opinion with our best defense professionally trained golf course experts We asked superintendents to respond to some of the industrys most common accusations We might not have access to a slick lawyer but our experts Golfdoms readers know a thing or two about defending themselves Tired of losing in the court of public opinion In Golfdoms court golf actually gets a fair trial B Y A N T H O N Y P I O P P I J O H N WA L S H A N D A N T H O N Y WI L L I AMS I L L U S T R A T I O N B Y D A N A N D R E A S E N TRIAL w w w g o l f d om c om Golfdom 15
