St Andrews, Scotland: Last year, people across the golf community came together around sustainable golf to Reflect, Celebrate, and Drive Further; asking important questions and sharing inspiring contributions and commitments.

Now, the Golf Environment Organisation (GEO) has announced that Sustainable Golf Week 2023 will tee-off from October 9-13. This year’s theme is Golf – Better with Nature.

Golf’s relationship with nature is unique among sport, with landscapes, eco-systems, and bio-diversity an essential part of the experience.

Accordingly, with pressing challenges of climate change and eco-system degradation, preserving and actively reviving nature holds significant importance for both golf and society.

Sustainable Golf Week will explore golf’s role in fostering nature, including the safeguarding of nature and prevention of ‘net negative’ impacts, as well as the active restoration and enrichment of our golfing landscapes.

“More widely, we’ll look at the concept and criteria for Nature Positive Golf and how golf can champion the significance of the natural world to millions of players and followers,” said a spokesperson for GEO, adding that initial questions or ideas are welcome.

“We look forward to linking your advocacy and contributions with the rapidly growing group of people throughout the sport who are stepping forward to play a part in helping sustainable golf drive further.”
