168 - Cees Collart - Sustainable Agronomy

Kicking off our first piece of content from our Netherlands Tour in October 2022 with Cees Collart, Chairman of Sustainable Golf at the R&A. Cees has spent much of his life around the game, spending time in England & Scotland as well as The Netherlands, now playing much of his golf at Eindhoven. Through some regular matches we have been friends with Cees for some time now, and getting to record a podcast with him about the work he is leading on sustainable agronomy was great fun. Really interesting stuff in here about turf types, turf management, and the running game, all speaking t the future of sustainable golf which will be in shades of yellows and browns rather than the saturated greens we have been used to seeing in recent decades. Who would have known you could have sustainable turf in the Middle East. Don't forget our first course film from our Netherlands series starts this evening (17th JAN) over on YouTube at 7pm GMT. Big thank you to our series sponsor FootJoy for making this possible.  Send us a message if you liked the showSupport the showIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!You can follow us along below @cookiejargolf Instagram / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Website
