10 <br /> How Should They Be Used? <br /> Good environmental practice and design is the result of a multitude of <br /> factors and a thorough understanding of how these factors interrelate on a <br /> specific site in a specific locale. The principles are meant to be used as a <br /> guide to making good decisions relative to the planning and siting, design, <br /> construction, maintenance and operation of a golf course. They are <br /> voluntary, and should be interpreted as representing a whole philosophy of <br /> good environmental design and management rather than specific dictates, <br /> each of which must be met in all cases. It is hoped that the principles will <br /> be widely adopted and used to improve the level of environmental <br /> awareness, practice, dialogue, and quality achieved within the game of golf. <br /> For further information you are encouraged to contact any or all of the <br /> following organizations that participated in the development of these <br /> principles. A contact person for each organization is listed in Appendix 1. <br /> American Farmland Trust <br /> American Society of Golf Course Architects <br /> Audubon International <br /> Center for Resource Management <br /> " Friends of the Earth <br /> Golf Course Superintendents Association of America <br /> Golf Digest <br /> National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides <br /> National Wildlife Federation <br /> North Carolina Coastal Federation <br /> Rain Bird - Golf Division <br /> Royal Canadian Golf Association <br /> SENES Oak Ridge, Inc. - Center for Risk Analysis <br /> Sierra Club <br /> United States Environmental Protection Agency <br /> United States Golf Association <br /> See Appendix 2 for those organizations who have, at this publication, <br /> endorsed the principles. <br /> 3 <br />
