"Get On The Green" with Dixon Golf

Bunkers are one of the most resource intensive features of the golf course requiring a number of inputs including fuel, sand, water, seed, fertilizer, labor and lots of $.

Throughout the month of August we are inviting submissions to learn how your golf course has reduced the amount of non-renewable resources in the maintenance of bunkers.

We are looking for your examples of, but not restricted to, any one or combination of these bunker management trends:
- Using drought tolerant grasses
- No-mow bunker surroundings
- Recycled glass instead of sand
- Grey water for bunker irrigation
- Waste bunkers, grass bunkers, etc...

Here's just one example of what we are looking for.

The submission deadline is September 1st 2009, so hurry up and pass it on to your friends.
