In this episode, we welcome Bri Kenny, Manager of Environmental Science at Troon Golf, to the show. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Bri is a Biologist and Naturalist, and a leading voice on golf and sustainability.
Host Gary Firkins sits down with Bri to explore the meaning of sustainability in today's world and discuss whether the sport of golf can truly embrace sustainable practices.
Bri shares a personal story about her first experience on a golf course, an eye-opening moment that challenged her previously negative perceptions about the sport.
The conversation also delves into the pressing issue of water scarcity in Arizona and the impact it has on golf courses in the region.
Plus, Bri highlights the importance of the Arizona Alliance for Golf, a coalition dedicated to educating the public on the socio-economic and environmental benefits that golf courses bring to local communities. The alliance advocates for the continued growth of the game while promoting environmental awareness throughout the state.
Tune in to learn how golf can be part of a sustainable future and what steps are being taken to balance the needs of the environment, people and business.
