5. Select the most appropriate products for defined issues, follow the instructions and make sure you understand the legal requirements in your country. Material Safety Data Sheets are always provided and contain full guidelines about the product, how to use it and what to do in case of accidents. Dose rates, frequency and timing of applications are explicitly recommended and identify the area a certain amount of active ingredient mixed with water will treat.
6. Use the best technology available in the right weather conditions - well
calibrated and tested sprayers, non-drip nozzles, drift-guards, personal protective equipment etc. Spot treatments based on threshold tolerances instead of blanket, preventative coverage will help your bottom line and reduce potential pollution risks.
7. Ensure no spray/no application zones are mapped and staff are well trained. Water bodies, wildflower meadows, ecological grasslands and other sensitive habitats should be clearly avoided by the minimum legal distances. A tiny amount of active ingredient can sometimes be extremely hazardous to certain species and can be very

Moon Palace, Mexico - An abundance of wildlife shares this golf course with players and a highly trained management team. 25% of turf nutrition and control products are biologically based and the IPM programme is strict but flexible. 7.5 metre buffer strips and aquatic bio-filters exist around all water features, and out-of-play areas (over two thirds of the property) are preserved, native flora.
Machrihanish Dunes, Scotland - Located in the middle of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) on the weather beaten west coast, Machrihanish Dunes is a perfect example of a golf development working alongside nature rather than against it. In 2011, the management decided to
enhance their sustainability objectives by going chemical- free.
Jinji Lake, China - Located within an industrial estate, Jinji Lake provides a ‘green lung’ for this highly urbanised location. With over 100 hectares of green space, wildlife habitat and wetland to enhance the environmental quality of the site, Jinji Lake shows that golf has an outstanding opportunity to reclaim and rejuvenate degraded land. Consumption and waste production are strictly controlled, as government legislation dictates, and the course is regularly inspected by local environmental departments. State of the art mechanical filters are used to treat waste water, and the courses now provide habitats to many species of birds and animals.
